Two Points Made Clear
In Discussions

Firstly, as regards the Eastern Pact, while, Germany will nöt adhere to this as it stands. she may be willing to conclude a series of regional pacis similar to the Polish-German Fact
Secondly, as regards, Memel, she might make-a-ann-aggres- on pact with Lithuania provided the latter adheres strictly to the Memel statute concernlig German minorities
Thirdly, as regards the League. Germany wil return if the French appeals are satisfactorily settled,
Fourthly, as regards armäments, negotiations might be held in London on the size of the German Army, Navy and Air Force-Reuter. ...
Berlin, March 26. -

London, Mar. 28.

JAPAN'S WITHDRAWAL
FROM LEAGUE
Official Circles Decline
To Comment
Tokyo, March, 26.
As an example of Japan's de- sire, the date of her formal sever- ance from the League will pass without any fuss and as quietly
as possible.
The Foreign Minister, Mr. Hirota, refuses to make any statement and foreign office officials decline to comment, other than a state- ment that Japan adheres to the polley laid down in the Imperial rescript of March 1933.
Ia this connection observers agree that à “situation fraught with momentous possibilities” no longer exists. Undoubtedly the political situation in the Far East is much calmer than last year and there is every indication that it will remain so for a good length of time.- Reuter,

HATEVER differences of opinion may exist on other questions there is one question upon which the public is agreed, viz., that Ovaltine' stands supreme, as the tonic food beverage for giving and maintaining good health for children and adults, alike.
The universal popularity which 'Ovaltine" enjoys is convincing evidence of its outstanding merits. Probably no other commodity has received such a vast number of unsolicited testimonials from all parts of the world as this delicious concentration of Nature's supreme restorative foods.
WHAT OVALTINE' IS
(Ovaltine' is an entirely original preparation perfected after years of scientific research. It is prepared from ripe barley malt, fresh milk and new-laid eggs, and is flavoured only with cocoa.
Malt Extract is used, for powdered malt does not yield the same food value nor'exert the same digestive power It is emphasised that the Malt Extract is exceptional în every way. For example, the method of manufacture ensures the preserva- tion of the diastase. This is a very important food property.
It not only ensures that Ovaltine will be easily digested and completely assimilated, but it also has the power of digesting the starch contained in other foods which form part of the ordinary dietary, thus converting this indigestible material into easily assimilable nourishment.
WHY 'OVALTINE' STANDS SUPREME
But Ovaltine' is more than a mere mixture even, of the finest ingredients. The unique and exclu- sive process of manufacture": concentrates the food siements contained in these natural foods and presents them in perfectly balanced nutritive proportions, Fata, proteins, carbohydrates, mineral salta and vitamins--all are present in the correct amounts needed by the system.
Ovaltine" is the most economical food beverage you can bay. It is only because of the world... wide and over-growing sales that it is possible to sell it at the present low prices. There is only one Ovaltine there is nothing to equal it and nothing just as good.
Let Ovaltine' be the daily beverage in your home to give health and vitality to every member of jour family, and to protect them against coughs, colds and other winter ailments.
