Premier's Graphic Review of Events of Last Week
RULE
NO PEACE UNTIL BY VIOLENCE CRUSHED
∙LONDON, OCT. 3 (REUTER). CONTINUING HIS SPEECH IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS THIS AFTERNOON (the first part of which is reported on Page 5), MR. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN GAVE A SUMMARY OF THE WAR'S PROGRESS ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
Fate Of War In Hands Of GERMAN POSITIONS. Neutrals
DEBATE IN COMMONS
LONDON,. Oct. 3 (Reuter). Following Mr. Chamberlain's speech in the House of Commons, П general debate took place.
Mr. Lloyd George said that if the whole situation with regard to peace was dependent upon the word of Hitler he was afraid they had no alternative, but to proceed until they had some other better and more sure guarantee.
Judging from what appeared in the press and at the discus- sions, at the invitation of Hitler, with the Italian Government, "who on the whole have shown a friendly disposition towards us," it was quite clear that somebody was going to submit detailed terms for the considera-
tion of His Majesty's Govern
ment.

SWISS TAKING NO CHANCES
U-Boats To Sink
Neutrals On Sight
LONDON, Oct: 8 (Reuter). In Copenhagen it is now believed that the Germans are carrying out a "sink on sight" policy.
The Danish Foreign Minister, speaking at the Radical Party Congress at Copenhagen to-day said: "We have a right to de-. mand that our trade be respected by the belligerents so that the foundations of Danish economic lifo may stand firm."
The bitter Danish newspaper com ment is believed to be a hint that Denmark may curtall supplies to Germany.
In Olso fo-day the Norwegian Foreign Minister also spoke on the Nazi torpedoing of Scandinavian ship,

"The aircraft coastal command have continued throughout the week to carry out anti-reports of new German concentra- blem.""" submarine and other routine patrol and escort work and special reconnaissances, and advantage has been taken of the light of the moon to continue the relentless hunting of submarines during the night hours. A number of U-boats have been sighted and attacked."
ATTACK ON NAZI FLEET
Mr. Chamberlain then referred to the attacks on thej
German fleet by bombers and said we had suffered some losses, but the Germans had admitted that two of their fighter planes were shot down.
At sen, the war against the submarines continues with unabated vigour, and his confidence previously expressed that the increase in anti-sybmarine measures would cause the submarine menace to dwindle no less rapidly had been justified.
