NAZI WHITE PAPER
PRE-WAR DIPLOMATIC EXCHANGES. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. BERLIN, September 6. The Government has published a White Paper on the diplomatic . exchanges before the war in which it is claimed that Herr Hitler in the first place accepted the British suggestion to negotiate direct with Poland but no Polish negotiator arrived on the stipulated date, nor did Britain send a communication about her undei takings. A subsequent British memorandum did not show real progress in dealing with the problem. The British Ambassador was then given a detailed outline of the Reich s proposals, but said he had not powei to negotiate on behalf of Poland. The Reich waited vainly for two days for the arrival of a Polish negotiator, after which the proposals were published and declared unacceptable by Poland in a radio broadcast. The White Paper adds that Germany and France assented but Britain rejected Signor Mussolini’s proposal for an armistice and conference. Thus the Italian peace initiative was frustrated by Britain. ■
