Reich Ignored

Empire Land for Jews Considered, Declares Mr. Chamberlain

London, Nov. 22.

Mr. R. A. Butler, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs stated in the House of Commons yesterday that no reply had been received to tne British Note to Germany concerning the damage to property of British Jewish subjects in Germany.

Neither had a reply been received regarding the protest against German. attacks on British members of Parliament, he added.

The attention of Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, had been drawn to the German propaganda, charging His Majesty's Government with permitting acts of terrorism in India and Palestine, he declared, While well aware of the unfortunate effect of such articles on Anglo-German relations, Mr, Butler said he did not consider it necessary to draw the attention of the German Government to this fact.

The British Government had good reason to believe that the German Army was now at peace strength, he added, and that the reserves specially called up had been released.
