As for the Press polemics to which the visit has
indirectly given rise, they do little credit to any of the organs concerned, though no one could be greatly astonished at the reaction in certain German quarters against an Evening Standard article last Saturday in which under the flaring headlines, HITLER READY FOR TRUCE NO COLONIES DEMAND FOR TEN YEARS IF HE GETS FREE HAND IN CENTRAL EUROPE a Diplomatic Correspondent declared himself " able to, give certain indications of the attitude of both the German and the British Governments towards the coming talks." It is an unimpressive formula. Anyone who chooses can indicate anything. The question is whether the indications are accurate. In this case there is little reason to believe they are. It incidentally gave Dr. Goebbels the opportunity, of suggesting that perhaps Lord Halifax had better not come to General Goering's exhibition after all.
