NAUSEATING RHAPSODIES IN PRESS
MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL REFUSED TO BE DRAWN ON THE SUBJECT OF RUDOLF HESS WHEN QUESTIONERS BOMBARDED HIM IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS YESTER- DAY AFTERNOON.
Major Vyvyan Adams asked whether it had been established whether Hess's visit was planned with the German Government's connivance.
The Prine Minister replied i

The Prime Minister: "I certain, ly do not feel 1 ought to retract in any way from the vehemence of Major Adams' statement."! (Laughter).

Mr. Robert Tylor (Labour) complained of press descriptions of this man's very delicate ap- pelite and the means mcken 10 salisty it."
Mr Tylor added: "Our people believe there are inany people in concentration camps
who had just as delicate appetites, and they are not satisfied in this ease."

Nazi Efforts
The German propagandists are still trying to explain away thu Hess meident, says the diplomatic correspondent of "The Times"
The whole affair is now closed, they announced at the week-end, after a week in which hey had declared with equal fervour that Hess was mad. that he was per fectly sane, that he knew nothinR of importance, that the British would torture him into revealing vilai German secrets, that he had been lured

HOWEVER MAGNIFICENT his military machine, Hitler can hold his success only if he satisfies his own people, says the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer.”
Whatever the primary cause of Hess's disaffection, one
element very near the cornerstone of the Nazi edifice has crumbled. If that breach can widen, the whole unsound structure may collapse.
This would benefit the German people, who cannot hope for pence or for a healthy national develop- ment while their frenzied leader- ship, with each victory, looks for new worlds to conquer.
