I PUT 8 QUESTIONS TO THESE MEN

When you need confirmation of Daniel and produced rather different something you are fairly sure of answers. | already you ask for a second opinion; "Both you and Germans," he says

it is so nice to be reassured.

"are gaining by playing the waiting game, though probably in a different ratio. It is very difficult to say which of you is gaining more..

With this in view, I decided to get "second opinions" about the war from six picked neutral Journalists in Lon- don. Now, these men speak indirect- ly to several hundred million people in other parts of the world-speak to them mostly about Britain.

UNITED STATES

First man I tackled was Raymond Daniel, of the "New York Times." I fired him a questionnaire over the telephone. Here are the questions and his answers:

Do you think we are being over- confident in our attitude towards the war?

The memory of past victories plays an important part in British thinking and it would be well to impress the people more with life as it would be if history did not repeat itself this time.

Are we gaining by playing the waiting game?

Military and naval experts evidently think so.

In your opinion, has our position relative to Germany's improved since war was declared?

I think it has - in defence, in re- spect of neutral opinion, and econo- mically, through the operation of con- traband control.

Have we made any mistakes in the conduct of the war?

|

"You have certainly made one big mistake the black-out, I think it was imposed unnecessarily harshly at first and no one has the courage to repeal it.

"On the whole you are trying hard not to interfere with the neutrals' activities. I can't say how far you succeed.”

JAPAN

And now for Japan, the anti-Com- munist "twin" of Italy. These views come from Salji Hasegawa, repre-

sentative of the Domei news agency, which serves all the leading newspa- pers of Tokyo and Osaka, more than 150 Japanese provincial papers, and the Japan Broadcasting Corporation. It employs more than 3,000 men, hav- ing at present no fewer than 500 stationed. In China.

Mr. Hasegawa thinks our big mis- take was in ever starting the war.

"Britain need not necessarily have fought," he says, "Instead of gua-

Who wouldn't? But so long as there are freedom of speech and the Press the mistakes ought to correct them-ranteeing Poland, Britain might have selves.

Do you approve of the way our newspapers handle the news?

I think it is a little on the op- timistic side, but British editors know the British public better than I do.

Do you see a possible successor to Mr. Chamberlain?

tant.

Is there any special feature about Britain at war about which you have written home?

Yes. Britain's attitude towards American neutrality. I have written editorials. debunking the idea that every country in Europe is trying to drag America into the war. Machinery and 'planes, not men, are wanted from the United States.

What changes are likely to take place in England after the war?

I expect and hope to see England basically the same.

Well, that's what Mr. Daniel thinks about us. His ppaer, the "New York Times," has a daily net sale of 532,058. In politics it is independent. It sup- ported Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936, though it has frequently criticised him since.

ITALY

Next comes Mr. Rea, of Italy. He represents La Stampa, the three editions of which have a combined circulation of 500,000. Seven associated papers, published in Rome. Venice. Florence. etc., raise the circulation to more than 1,000,000,

He faced the same questions as Mr.

HOLLAND

Mr. Vas Dias, of Amsterdam, comes next. His papers are independent

and have a circulation of about 400,- 000. He is the honorary secretary of the Foreign Press Association in Lon- don and has been here for 14 years,

He agrees right away with Mr. Hasegawa on whether we are gaining by waiting. He says:

"That depends on whether Germany gets economic aid from Russia. Undoubtedly there are enormous re- serves in Russia, but just now Russian aid to Germany does not seem very. great.

"As to your being over-confident I think British correspondents abroad prefer to send all news which is favourable rather than to give a full picture of things as they are. "Mr. Anthony Eden might be possible, successor to Mr. Chamber- (Continued on Page 11)
