Berlin, Nov. 14.
The statement by the National Socialist Party's official news service, denouncing foreign press speculation regarding the forthcoming "peace talks" between Lord Halifax, Lord President of the Council, and Herr Hitler, is given prominence in the press to-day, which deprecates sensationalism.
The papers generaly speak of Great Britain's desire to come to terms with Germany, but do not discuss the possible subject of the talks. Discussion of Germany's colonial claims, which until a few days ago was carried on heatedly, has disappeared from the press overnight, The German public has noted the views of London and Paris regarding the colonies, and will know how calmly to await developments, the agency states, With regard to the assertion that Germany wishes a rapprochement with the Western Powers to bring about a Four-Power talk, there is no subject of controversy between Germany and these Powers which might be discussed. Germany does not want to cover up by a new conference, the obviously shameful failure of a conference of Powers just ended, says the agency (pre-Sumably the Brussels Conference).—
