The Test Match The remarkable collapse of the West Indian eleven in the first Test match against. England has not been accounted for in the telegraphic reports of the game, but it may have some connection with the weather. Undoubtedly pitches in other parts of the country were very Gifficult, as witness the extraordinary scores at Sheflield, where Yorkshire made only 83 ud skittled out Derbyshire for 20 runs. From the fragmentary broadcast reports of the Test match received in Shanghai on Saturday night, the pitch at Lords was, up to the tea interval, n favour of the batsmen, the ball seldom rising much as stump high. This gave England's fast attack no assistance, and it is therefore not surprising that the West Indies were able to go to tea in the strong position of 226 runs for four wickets. By the time this appears in Print it will be known what Gimblett has done with the bat in his first Test, but from the Droadeast accounts he has already covered himself with glory in the field. "Some of his work was brilliant, while the catch with which he dismissed "Weeks when that batsman. seemed to be set, was quite out of the ordi hard hit, rising Ball, taken close in. The formenes of Headley, the "black Bradman," extremely fine, though he seems to have been fortunate on iwo occasions, once cocking up a ball to les just out of reach of the fielders, anda second time behind the wicket fof the two occasions could be termed fand thus there is no blemish on his confu Dr. Goebbels' Speech Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister for Propaganda, indulged ina fiery speech in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, on the occasion of the celebration of the Summer Solstice festivities, the course of which he urged the immediate settlement of the Danzig problem, and voiced again Germany's "vital aims." It probably sounded very well to his listeners, but, as a [contribution to a better understanding in Burope, is, valueless as completely failing to under. stand Britain's position. Dr. Goebbels is reported fas saying "Europe is ground for our interests, fand it is no business of the English." That is entirely contrary to the facts as shown by history. The condition of Europe has consistently been very much of Britain's business as witness [the number of times she has found it necessary fo intervene in European affairs. Much as some lof Britain's critics would like it, much indeed as many Britons themselves would prefer it, it is impossible for her to take up an attitude of fey isolation. The ingenuity of man is such declare that the fron-her interests it is imperative that no one European country should secure a dominating position, and it is because Germany has consistently sought to dominate Europe that she thas been brought in conflict with a people Which would much rather be friendly with her. The British interest in this direction is purely jin the cause of her awn self-defence. It is an unfortunate fact, but, nevertheless, any who seek 0 find some other hidden meaning for [British policy only serve to delude themselves. In this connection it must be remembered that Germany is not the only nation against which Britain has thrown her weight when attempts have been made to dominate Europe, as probably her closest Ally at the moment will recall With the German desire for a place in the sun there will be every sympathy, but when that lery amounts to a demand for the whole of it, then entirely different considerations arise.
