Dr Otto Dietrich, Nazi pross chief, left, and Dr Paul Schmidt, official interpreter, right. Ribbon- trop is largely to be blamed for the present war because he told Hitler England would not fight over Poland. He was also responsible for the Russo-Gorman non-aggression pact of 1939. Now he does an about-face.

WAR PRISONERS' MAIL BY AIR
The Assistant Postmaster-General, Mr Allan Chapman, an- nounced in the House of Commons recently that an arrangement had been agreed in principle with the German Government where- by letters to and from British prisoners of war in Germany will be conveyed by air between Lisbon and Germany in return for the conveyance by air between the United Kingdom and Lisbon of letters to and from German prisoners of war.
Up to, the present, the normal route from Lisbon has been by train through Spain, France and Switzerland. The use of the air service between the United Kingdom and Lisbon has already resulted in a considerable speeding up of delivery in both direc- tions, and the new scheme which will come into operation upon an agreed date, will improve the service still further, writes a London correspondent.
