Marshal Goering Claims
To Be Humane:
BERLIN, NOV, 8 (UP),~In an informal conversailon during a reception at the Human Embassy, s correspondent asked Field Marshal Goering. "Do you believe the German air industry is as strong as the United States?" The latter replied, "If ours were only as strong as the United States, I would be very weak Indeed."
11 Field Marshal doering said that the general situation was ex- ceedingly favourable to Germany.
Regarding the French claims that they had shot down many planes, he said, "Of course we lose a plane or two occasionally, but if the French are shooting down as many planes as they claim they are not our planes.”
་
Field Marshal Goering said that the bombing of warships was very important and provides good practice.
Asked why, they had not stacked more harbour works, Field Marshal Goering said, "I am humane." This produced laughter, whereupon he said, "You should not laugh. I am serious when I say that I am really humane.”
The Field Marshal talked fengihliy and animatedly with the new Russian Ambassador, Belgian Ambassador, the wife of the Halian Ambassador and members of the Russian trade delegation.
