FRENCH COMMENT ON THE WELLES MISSION

Paris, To-day. THE FRENCH PRESS yesterday stressed the con- trast in the speeches of Mr. Chamberlain and Hitler and particularly the "left tone" of the latter's fulminations. Mr. Sumner Welles was another subject of comment.

"I hope to accomplish my mission well and quick- ly," Mr. Welles is quoted as saying on his land- ing at Naples.

"Excelsior" comments that if it! were not for the gravity of the situa- tion we would say that Mr. Welles comes in the nick of time.

"Excelsior" calls Mr. Chamberlain's speech n "generous speech," Hitler's a "furious diatribe."

"La Justice" says that the speeches present two conceptions of the war. Hitler's address displayed a "Com- munist policy."

Ahmed Mokhtar relates how during a visit to India, he was pleased to observe how Moslems enjoyed every religious and cultural liberty "and not only in India but in all parts of the British Empire."

He goes on to describe a massacre of Moslems and persecutions under the Bolsheviks, "who oppress the religious beliefs of the Moslems and confiscate their schools and mosques. Such is the life of Moslems under brutal Bolshevism.

"Regarding the Nazls, the human mind cannot imagine what the Mos- lems might suffer if they fell under a Nazi regime.

"We have plenty examples of the the atrocities

"We shall find no way of escaping the threats of Bolshevism and Nazilsm and exterminating them except by France co-operating with Britain and until victory over the aggressors has been
