British Troops And Police Expelled
HUGBY, November 23. A question addressed to Mr Chamberlain in the House of Commons today called attention to statements which appeared yesterday in the German press, accusing British troops and police in Palestine of looting, rape, murder and torturing prisoners. Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, answering, said there was no truth whatever in these stories. “I would repeat Mr Chamberlain’s observation fn reply to a question on Monday, that the German Government must be well aware of the unfortunate effect on Anglo-German relations of such articles,” said the Chancellor. In answer to a question whether it it was proposed to invite any German minister to London in return for the Prime Minister’s visit to Germany, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir John Simon, referred to the answer given 1 by Mr Chamberlain on Monday, when he gave a negative reply to an inquiry whether any meeting between members of the British and German Governments to discuss appeasements was contemplated in the near future.
