Celebration Of
German
די
National Day
The German Consul-General, Herr H. Glpperich, and Frau Gip- perich, with the assistance of Herr O May, Nazi Party leader in Hong- kong were hosts at a celebration in the German Club in honour of German National Day at noon yesterday.
Approximately 250 guests attend- ed including His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, accompanied by Captain S. H. Batty-Smith, A.D.C.
Herr Gipperich proposed the toast to his country and expressed the hope that a sincere and com- plete understanding would soon come about between Britain and Germany.
Replying, HE the Governor
. said:
"I have no hesitation in saying that, every person in this room heard with sincere happiness Herr Oipperich's kindly graceful wel- come of Germany's National Day: We feel, what he has so well ex- pressed, that this pleasant gather- ing stands for something much more real and deep-seated than « mere formållty.
HAPPY RELATIONS.
"So far as Hongkong goes, it signifies the happy relations which exist here between the German residents in the Colony and the British community--a state of affairs which is due in no small part to the invariable courtesy and friendliness shown to us by our kind host and his charming wife, Frau Gipperich; but I hope and I believe that it may be taken to reflect something wider than just a local amity.
""
"The Consul-General has stated his conviction that firm friend- "ship and co-operation between the German Reich and the British Empire is possible and desirable and worthy of the best efforts of the best men on both sides. In expressing my own adherence to that belief I use his very words be- cause I can and none. better.
"I trust sincerely that our be- lef will soon be justified in fact: and my hope is the stronger be- cause I am sure that deep in the hearts of both our people there are not only a love of peace and a hatred of war but also a genulue desire for mutual friendship."
