German White How U-Boat Paper Mocked Was Sunk
American Press Adopts
Sarcastic Tone
NEW YORK, Apr. 2 (Reuter) - The American press is not very im- pressed by the German White Paper, which puts the responsibility for the war on the shoulders of the United States Government.
Indeed, the New York "Herald Tribune" makes fun of the White Paper, which says that the cause of war, "believe it or not", seems to be as follows:
Nobody in Germany wanted war
or dreamed of It. Hitler sought only peace. He occupled Austria in the name of peace, he invaded Poland only because there was no, other way of preserving peace.
Hitforian Dova Of Peaco While the Allies were sallaflied to accept at their face value the truly pacific nature of Hitler's successive steps, the American diplomats put the idea Into their heads that the German invasion of Poland and the Comuns of Warsaw might be con- strued as acts of war.

Now Reason For White Paper BERLIN, Apr. 2 (Reuter),—The Nazis have now thought of a new reason for the issuing of the White Book. It was intended to persuade the Russians that they are on the right side of the fence.
