Berlin, Apr. 2.
A "peace speech, addressed particul-larly to Britain, coupled with a warning" is the description applied to Herr HHitler's speech by well-informed Germon quarters.
In the words of one commentator, Herr Hitler wanted peace at the same ime as giving a sharp warning against the continuation of the Chamberlain encirclement attempts, whether disguised or undisguised. We do not believe in the defensive nature of this policy; every day we see examples of an attempt to torpedo our peaceful factions, with active attempts to put obstacles in Germany's way—the Rumanian Agreement providing an temple. We are ready for peace, but not for more encirclement. We shall Icertainly not remain inactive until the rope is right round our throat."
Press comments emphasize the leunger of an "encirclement" policy, and declares that Herr Hitler has gwen Britain time for reflection.
