Bitter Resentment Against Britain
(Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, August 29. An undertone of bitter resentment against Britain, reminiscent of the press attitude after the crisis of May 21 last, suggests, says a Berlin message, that Sir John Simon’s declaration was well timed. Nervous tension has increased enormously in the last 48 hours, even those cut off from foreign newspapers realising that the anti-Czech campaign has reached a pitch at which a decision is inevitable.
“La Tribuna” (Rome), observing that Sir John Simon’s speech closed the most panicky and alarmist week in recent diplomatic history, declares that German manoeuvres and home fleet exercises in the North Sea were used by democracies to suggest that a crisis had reached a fatal point. Everything was done to spread the impression that war was imminent, the paper states.
