HITLER WILL MAKE A PEACE OFFER: AND TRY GUILE
London, To-day.
MR. HAROLD NICHOLSON, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information, speaking at Leicester yes- terday, said: "It may be within the next few days that Hitler may launch his peace offensive and will assure the peoples of France and Britain he has no desire to subjugate their countries but that all he desires is their complete disarmament.
"He will say to us that we may keep our Empire (apart from such colonies he may desire for himself) but that wè must abandon our free democratic institutions and ac- cept a government nominated from Berlin and at the same time surrender our fleet to Germany and Italy.
"The moment that he obtains our cet he would sweep upon London and from there would slowly, careful- Ly and thoroughly stamp out our liber, ties and reduce our working people to the level of slaves."
After praising the amazing fight-
ing qualities of the French troops, Mr. Nicholson said:. "There must come a moment when the German armoured divisions will break down lubricants from lack of petrol and and when their men will drop from fatigue.
"It might well be that the moment of exhaustion will come as the French hold them south of Paris, entrenching themselves until our own army. and equipment could come to their assis- tance.

WAR AFFECTS THE LAW
One effect of having "something to think about," so to speak, appears-to be that the British are largely giving up the luxury of litigation.
With the opening of the spring terms in the law courts in London, judges found they had only about half as much work to do as they had last year. The number of general cases little up for trial had decreased a
per cent., compared more than 50 with a year ago, and there were 60 per cent fewer commercial cases.
In the King's Bench Division only 647 cases awaited trial, compared with 1,376 at the corresponding time in 1939. Cases of a commercial nature, mostly claims for damages from acci- dents and personal injuries, totaled 25, compared with the 68 a year ago.
