MORE BERLIN JEERS
HYPOCRISY ALLEGED ROME JOINS RECEPTION ‘ ENCIRCLEMENT’ ASSAILED (Reed. July 1, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 30. Messages! from Berlin state that the, semi-official publication, Deutsche Dienst, rejects emphatically the peaceful motives of the speech made by the Foreign Secretary, Viscount Halifax, yesterday. The Deutsche Dienst refers to the speech as “hypocrisy, high sounding phrases and empty words.” The paper adds: “Britain should cease attempting to make her policy appear peaceful in the eyes, of the German people, while awaiting the conclusion of negotiations for the further encircling of Germany. What London is hastening to undertake shows' all the signs of having a preventive war as the goal.”
A message from Rome states that the semi-official news agency characterises Lord Halifax’s speech as “devoid of any constructive proposals whatever.”
Signor Gayda says that Lord Halifax's speech delivered a death blow to hopes of a peacefully-negotiated solution of vital European problems. He bitterly assails the British and French “encirclement” which Germany and Italy are “ready to face with calm and firm resolution.”
Obvious attempts to jam the wireless reception of the Italian version of Lord Halifax’s speech broadcast from England were partly successful
