Reich Too Near S. America If African Land Returned Washington, Dec. 8.
Lively interest has been aroused here, by the reference to the colonies, made yesterday in the House of Commons by Mr. Malcolm MacDonald, the British Colonial Secretary.
The "Washington Star" points out that the return of the colonies on the west Coast of Africa would place the Reich within easy striking di: tance of South America.
The same observation has been made; in many other newspapers recently.
At the same time, the "Washington Star" condemns, as does the "New York Times" alleged attempts, by Nazi agents, to sabotage the Pan-American Conference, which opens at Lima, Peru, tomorrow.
For the second day in succession yesterday, President Roosevelt discussed European problems with Mr. Sumner Welles, Under Secretary of State, and the United States Ambassadors to Germany, France and Italy.—Reuter.
