IF HITLER WINS
Cabled references to a new Nazi peace offensive lend particular interest to reports current in London a month ago that Herr Hitler and his Foreign Minister, Herr von Ribbentrop, had drawn up a seven-point peace treaty to be presented in the event of Germany winning the war. How the document came into British hands has not been disclosed, but the diplomatic correspondent of the Sunday Chronicle vouches for it. The terms are:— 1. All British and French territories in Africa to be surrendered to Germany. 2. France to surrender to Germany the whole- of Alsace and Lorraine. 3. Britain and France to pay to Germany a war indemnity, in gold, sufficiently large to " rehabilitate the financial position of the Reich." 4. Britain to enter into commercial treaties giving Germany preferential treatment tor her goods in all parts of the British Empire, including the dominions and India. 5. Special financial and economic concessions to be granted by Britain and France so as to establish German political and economic leadership in Europe. 6. British world leadership to be brought to an end. 7. France to be compelled to sign a treaty allying herself with Germany for a period of 25 years.
