GERMANY'S DEMAND CONCERN OF BRITAIN PROPAGANDA IN AUSTRIA POWERS IN CONSULTATION By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrislit Times Cable LONDON, Aug. 2 Germany's intentions in regard to military or police aircraft continue to engage the serious attention of the British Government. The matter is not likely to bo left where it stood after Britain's refusal last week to allow machines to be exported to Germany. The only reference made by German newspapers to Captain Goering's request and Britain's intimation was inspired. It stated, under the. heading "English Canard." that English newspapers had alleged a German infraction of the Paris air agreement necessitating a demareho (stop) by the British Charge d'Affaires in Berlin. The German newspapers thereupon • declared "Xo British protest was made to Berlin, nor could any be made, because an infraction of the Paris agreement was not committed nor contemplated." The Times emphasises that the British intimation was not a protest, but clearly conveyed the British view that the proposal to acquire police aeroplanes implied an infraction of the agreement. Varioiis other indications, apart from Captain Goering's request, are arousing misgivings, and are likely to be followed with close attention. It is understood that the British, French and !. tlian Governments are in consultation about German aeroplane flights over Austria and the distribution from them of leaflets attacking the Government. This is held to be contrary to the spirit of the Four-Power Pact. It is possible that their views as co-signatories of that pact will be brought under the notice of Germany within a day or two.
