COMMUNIST ATTACK MACHINE READY
ON GERMANY ·
PROTEST LODGED IN
PARIS
French And Italian Press Comment
("Hong Kong Daily Press" Special)
Paris, October 14. The entire French press discusses animatedly on Wednesday morning the step taken on Monday night by the German Charge d'Affaires at the Quay d'Orsay in regard to the abusive attack on the Fuehret and the German people on Saturday night at Strass- burg by the Secretary General of the Communist Party, Thorez.
The "Matin" speaks of the German note as couched pur- posedly in restrained and polite language, and expresses the opinion that the warning issued to the French Government must open the eyes of those in authoritative positions to the peril of allowing Moscow's agents on behalf of Stalin to commit provocative actions capable of leading to the gravest diplomatic complications and even to conflicts, as the only ones to profit by such actions are the men of the Third International,
The "Petit Parisien endeavours
to evade the responsibility of the
issue by stressing that There is AL CAPONES
not a member of the French Government, which cannot be rande responsible for his words.
The Excelsior" declares that the Quay d'Orsay considers the incident as closed.
The "Journal" publishes a report of its Berlin correspondent, warn- ing its readers against under- estimating the seriousness of the incident. The correspondent adds that the Strassburg speech ni Thores will not remain without
consequences.
The "Echo de Paris" thinks that Blum's mistakes do not justify German diplomatic action.
The Communist operation was such a fiasco that there is no reason for using it to drive a bargain with France by attaching the slightest Importance to the Incident.
The "Petit Journal" is indignant at the action of the German Charge d'Affaires which Et des- cribes as "Intolerable interference."
