THE CHINA MAIL, MARCH 5, 1940
THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF WAR
London, To-day.
MOST OF YESTERDAY'S British Press gave editorial space to a review of the past six months of the wark
"The Times" stresses Germany's need for peace and how her Nazi leaders had hoped to. hold off the Western Powers while they consolidated their eastern con- quests.
The
Such a peace is unthinkable. delay had favoured the less well pre- pared party to the conflict and the Allies have made more ground, just as they had more ground to make.
The "Daily Telegraph," too; stresses the value of the long respite in en- abling the Allies to marshal their resources.
Taking as its theme Mr. Chamber- lain's remark on the opening day of the war that we were fighting against evil things, the "Daily Mail" says that we knew then how evil those things were, but we have learnt also since. This hag strengthened our conviction that they must be opposed by war.
HE LISTENED
The "Yorkshire Post," dealing with Mr. Sumner Welles visit to Berlin, says that he has undergone an ex- perience which will earn him the sympathy of many European state- ments and diplomats he has sat closeted with Hitler, listening to one of Der Fuehrer's interminable harangues!
Only Nazi accounts of what hap- poned are available, “but it is clear that he must have latened very patiently, for he is considered to have made an excellent impression | on Der Fuehrer!"
EMPIRE'S RESOURCES
LONDON, TO-DAY. THE GREAT INCREASE IN THE MATERIAL RESOURCES ·AVAIL- ABLE TO THE EMPIRE WAR EF- THE FORT AS COMPARED WITH LAST WAR ARE REVEALED BY RECENT · FIGURES OBTAINED FROM AUTHORITATIVE QUAR- TERS, WHICH SHOW THAT THE DOMINIONS AND INDIA NOW CONTAIN ABOUT 30,000 MORE EACTORIES THAN WAS THE CASE OF IN 1914, WHILE THE NUMBER DOMINION INDUSTRIAL WORK- ERS HAS RISEN BY 69 PER CENT. The value of the industrial produc- and tion of Australia, New Zealand South Africa has risen by. 170 per cent, to a total of £398,000,000 and that of Canada alone has increased by 156 per cent. to $3,600,000,000 and the percentage of industrial exports from twelve to forty.
The very satisfactory increase in Canada's steel production shows that the annual output has, risen from 740,- 000 tons in 1914 to over 1,155,000 tons and the petrol output has increased thirtysixfold to over sever" and half million barrels...:
The "Daily Express" also emphas- | ises that the only reports about the Sumner Welles/Hitler talk have come from Nazi clrcles, and says that these show that the German leaders are more anxious for peace than anyonely else. Reuter.
