GERMANY DEMANDS EARLY DECISION ON "LEIPZIG" INCIDENT: MAISKY'S NOTE
London, To-day.
General satisfaction is felt here that Germany has made use of the agreed machinery of consultation in handling the "Leipzig" torpedo in- cident.

This proclamation, says the pa- per, has now been translated into action.
ALLEGED BROADCAST
In the case of the Leipzig, news of the attack and the alleged sink- The "Observer" states thating of the German cruiser the meeting of the four control broadcast coincident with the launch- Powers on Saturday was marked [ing of the first torpedo. by a very cordial spirit.
According to diplomatic circles good, rather than evil, may be the final upshot of the incident.
According to the "Sunday Times," the Soviet Ambassador, M. Ivan Maisky, has handed to the Foreign Office a Note ad- dressed to the non-interven- tion committee.
The Note reiterates the assertion that the procedure of the four Pow- ers, which excluded Russia from the discussions, was not justified.
SOVIET THREAT
This method, if repeated, might endanger the existence of the com- mittee.
The last words, says the "Sunday Times," might be interpreted as a threat by the Soviet to withdraw from the non-intervention committee.
FIERY SPEECH
Meanwhile a fiery speech on the Leipzig incident was delivered at Mainz yesterday by the Reichs Propaganda Minister, Dr. Joseph Goebbels.
he said,
The conflict in Spain, was creating more and more flammatory material.
in-
The world had already come to know that Nazi Germany was not going to put up with criminal provocations like the bombing of the Deustchland.
If Germany, after
the Leipzig incident, had appealed to the non- intervention committee, it did so in expectation that all the nations con- cerned would back up Germany in acting in the face of such outrageous provocation.

It will therefore be interesting to find out, says the paper, in what quarter abroad the rumour first arose, as it would help to unearth the accomplices in this outrage aim- ed at disturbing world peace.
it
The paper gives what claims to be a real interpreta- tion of the incident, namely, that Moscow and Valencia are seeking to save their internal situation by hurling firebrands into the world and so create the chaos that would give them their longed-for harvest.
SATISFACTION DEMANDED
The "Berliner Tageblatt" demands satisfaction for Germany and coun- ter-measures, because Europe is now brought face to face with a deci- sive issue of incalculable magnitude and importance.
These counter-measures, the paper adds, should be taken before it is too late Trans-Ocean.

Austria won the World Championship which was concluded yesterday by defeating the Ely Culbertson team from New York by 2,690 points.
The Culbertson players were out- classed by the perfect bidding of their opponents, who have been practising regularly for four months under their captain, Dr. Sterne.
Ely Culbertson describes them as In Moscow, he declared, existed the best team in Bridge history. the world's worst enemy, who was Reuter. endangering the honour, security and existence of all civilised na- tions.
HITLER RETURNS TO BERLIN
Every German newspaper, says a Berlin message, is devoting colurans to the Leipzig affair.
Stress is laid on the gravity of the situation created by this new incident, and it finds significant ex- pression in the sudden journey of Herr Hitler to Berlin.
The "Berliner Boersen Zei- tung" reminds the German peo- ple that the Basque Govern- ment had announced that Re- publican Spain had assembled a... fleet of submarines with the latest equipment, with a view to operating in the Spanish Mediterranean.
