TWO DECISIONS
RUSSO - ITALIAN UNDERSTANDING.
BERLIN, Mar. 20 (Reuter)-Ar Inspired statement, denying the peace plan rumours, declares that Germany has nothing to say on the question of peace after rejec- tion of the Fuehrer's offer of Oct.. 6, 1939, an offer made only once.
TWO DECISIONS.
A message
from Amsterdam reports that * Wilhelmstrasse spokesman told, neutral corres- pondents that people abroad stili did not seem to understand that German Goverment had taken two decisions.
FIRSTLY, to continue the war until complete victory WAS achieved:
Mr. Early added that Fresident |❘ the Roosevelt had carefully read and analysed all the reports received.
VIEWS OF BRITISH PRESS LONDON, Mar. 20 (Reuter)- Commenting on the well-publicis- ed Eleven-Point Peace Plan, the diplomatic correspondent of the Observer says that, whether true or false, they do represent the kind of peace paints which could be expected from the Nazis.
For propaganda purposes there is a reference to disarmament and Liberty of trade. There is a sop for Italy in the clauses about Djibouti and the Canal and a sop for Britain in the clause saying that 20 years should be allowed for the solution of the colonial pro- blem.
Beyond that, however, Ger- many would get everything she wants in Europe and there would be "no way to right the wrongs she has inflicted on her neighbours.
NAZI SAMPLE Whatever the facts are behind Peace Plan, the plan may well be the widely reported Eleven-Point a sample of the sort of plan the Nazk would put forward, a mix- "ture of generalizations, appealing to liberal world sentiment with a
cynical disregard of the real ob-
jects for which this war was being Zought...
