BRITAIN AND GERMANY

THEIR UNISON FOR PEACE IT IS VITAL TO EUROPE WHAT GERMAN TRESS SAYS (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright} Received Nov. 18, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 17. The Times’ Berlin correspondent says it has been* announced that Baron von Neuralh will accompany Lord Halifax to Berchtesgaden by tht» night train on November 18. Newspapers, for the first time, make it clear what, in German view, should be the contents of the Anglo-German conversations. The Volkischer Beobachter says: “The big question is how the general principles and methods of the foreign policies of England and Germany can be harmonised so that the two countries which hold the fate of Europe in their hands may co-operate rather than impede each other in the solution or the problems obstructing peaceful development in Europe. This raises the question of collectivity, to which Britain remains faithful, versus a system of agreements with individual States which Germany has practised with success. There is also the question of England appreciating that Germany cannot afford, as Herr Hitler said at Nuremberg, to take the Bolshevist danger to the Continent as lightly as England, which has a World Empire on which to fall back. Germany feels justified demanding an understanding in England for her role as a crusader for “a healthy Europe.” The Algemeine Zeitung says: “What Germany wants to know is Mr Chamberlain’s view on the role of Germany in the new European balance of power.’’ Other commentators suggest that an Anglo-German naval agreement should save the position of the world.
