Herr Rudolf Hess, Herr Hitler's deputy, speaking at a workers' demonstration at the Mannesmann Steel Tube Works yesterday, made reference to events in France.
"No strikes will occur in Germany, because they are injurious: to industrial production," he said.
Herr Hess added that the workers had to thank the German Army for their freedom. They felt safe, he declared, because of the strong Army aeroplanes and anti-aircraft forces.
Great as the cost was, he concluded, the workers were ready to bear the sacrifices entailed by further rearmament, which was "forced on them by others.'—Reuter.
Could not something be done about the rights of British subjects? Mr. Moreing asked.
Mr. Butler repeated his regret that the position remained unsatisfactory.
He was then understood to say that employees of a certain company were now allowed to travel in trams to a certain spot.
Mr. Moreing commented that that was "almost adding insult to injury." It was not a question, he said, of travelling by trams, but a question about the workers.
Sir Percy Harris, Liberal member for south-west Bethnal Green, asked if Mr. Butler, was aware that many} industries were being ruined, which belonged to British owners, and would Mr. Butler not make even stronger representations than before.
The Foreign Under-Secretary said that his reply to supplementary questions indicated the importance that was attached to the matter.
