BRITAIN’S RE-ARMAMENT.

GERMANY IS UNAFRAID. LESSON OF THE WAR. (Received 1 p.m.) United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegi-ajih—Copyright. BERLIN. February 9. The Berliner Tageblatt says : ‘‘The enormous rearmament Britain is planning shows her nervousness. Thi s may affect tihe nerves of the other p-eople. but will not afreet ours. We seem to be travelling towards an era. of growing tension and Britain does not seem to desire to work for a. reconciliation. 3 ’ Doctor Zielkn, of the Reich Food Board, addressing an assembly of farmers, stressed the necessity of a self-containing independent- food supply for Germany, and said that ev4n a blind man must realise that the strongest army would be defenceless against hunger and the sanctions boycott. There was no need to go into the past for examples, and they only need to turn their gaze' on the Italo-Abyssinian war. Italy's economic position should be a warning to Germany that blockade and hunger and not the enemy’s weapons brought German v to lier knees in the World War. '
