A PINCH
OF SALT
Italy is relying upon oil supplies from Rumania and Albania, the Italian news agency stated yes- terday.
The "Deutsche Allgemeine Zei- tung" is quoted as saying that
Italy's oil supplies are assured and
that Britain therefore is mistak- en in her calculations.
"Italy is receiving by reliable
means a large quantity of
oll
from Rumania, and she can also
use Albanian wells," the paper states.
"To this.must be added alcohol distilleries established under the system of autarchy and national production of methane gas which completely suffices for civil and * military needs."-Reuter.
A
WEATHER REPORT

OUT NEW PEACE
FEELERS
THE IMPOSSIBILITY of making peace with Nazi Germany was expressed in the House of Commons yesterday by Mr. Clement Attlee, Lord Privy Seal and Deputy Leader of the House of Commons.
He said that we cannot make peace with a people who do not accept the beginnings of modern civilisation.
"We hate to see mangled bodies and ruined homes, but there is something worse than killing the body and that is killing the soul."
Hitler was thus given in ad- vance the British answer to new peace feelers which he is putting out, semi-official sources in Lon- don commented yesterday evening.
There is once again talk in Ger- man-inspired quarters of the possibilities of a negotiated peace. ↑
Hitler The Peacemaker!
Thus, a Budapest report spöke of a move for German mediation

Other reports were a bit vaguer and spoke of a "general settle-
ment,'
In London, the symptoms are well recognised.
From time to time, surrepti. tious feciers are put out by Hit. ler hetween his fits of blind fury marked by terror-bombings and propaganda predictions of "even- tual German domination.
During the last week, German propaganda has been saying that Britain's Industry is crippled, her cities destroyed, most of her ship-. ping sunk and her Empire on the verge of disintegration.
The Endangered Having tried to convince Britain and the world that the Empire will be destroyed if the war con- tinues much longer, Hitler ima- gines that he has produced the right frame of mind to save him- self from the fate that awaits him. But the fact that Germany should be canvassing the possibili ties of a compromise peace taken as more confirmation that it is not Britain but-Germany her- self which is in a very danger- ous position.
