BRITONS AND GERMANS
NEED FOR UNDERSTANDING RECENT CRISIS A BLESSING FUNDAMENTALLY PEACEFUL (Received October 21, 5.5 p.m.) British Wireless RUGBY, Oct. 20 Speaking at the Anglo-German Fellowship annual dinner; Lord Rennell, a former Ambassador to Rome, said Germany and the British people had far more in common to unite them than to divide them. A good understanding between the two peoples was one of the most essential
factors for restoring in Europe an atmosphere of goodwill and confidence, without which he would have grave misgivings about the future of our present civilisation. Dr. Herbert von Dirksen, German Ambassador to Britain, who was the guest of honour, said the recent time of strain and crisis had proved a blessing in disguise, as it served to bring the two peoples closer together and create a better understanding. They were now convinced that they were both fundamentally peaceful and did not want war.
