DRIVEN TOGETHER
GERMANY AND ITALY BRITISH ATTITUDE BLAMED LONDON, April 11 Tliat Germany made friends with Italy out of pique with Britain is suggested in Lord Londonderry's newlypublished book, "Ourselves and Germany." Lord Londonderry was Minister of Air from 1931 to 1935. General (now Marshal) Goering told him in September, 1937, he writes, that Mussolini's forthcoming visit to Berlin was entirely due to Sir. Eden, former Foreign Minister, and Sir Robert Vansit tart, former head of the Foreign Office. " " Goering's main desire," he says, "was to impress on me that owing to British unwillingness to grasp the hand of friendship, which still remains extended, Germany has been compelled to seejc friends elsewhere. Hence the Italian and Japanese rapprochement-" , , Lord Londonderry reveals that Goering refused to attend the Coronation of King George VI. owing to popular opposition in Britain. He ielt that the Government was so fanatically antiGerman that any attempt at understanding was senseless.
