OXFORD BY-ELECTION CANDIDATES
London, To-day.
Madame Tabouis,-the noted com- mentator, writing in "POeuvre," refers to the suggestions that the French Ambassador had discussed such plans with Hitler's entourage. and that the German Ambassador's interviews with M. Daladier (the Premier) and M. Bonnet (Foreign Minister) yesterday might be a pre- lude thereto.
Madame Tabouis, however, men- tions the rumours with due reserve. "Pertinax," writing in "Ordre!” says it is impossible to judge the accuracy of the rumours, but the conclusion may be drawn that Ger- many reckons it opportune to try and induce Britain and. France not to accelerate their military prepar- ations and to strike Eastern Europe off their balance sheets.-Reuter.
