LONDON AIR-MAIL LETTER

Anglo-German Accord: Windsor Ead Challenged: Von Papen's Retention: An Appreciation Of Mme. Curies Old Trafford's Glorious History:

Winner Of The King's Prize: A Magnificent Gift

(From Our Own Correspondent)

London, July 6.

In the House of Commons yes berday Mr. Chamberlain, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, announced that an agreement on the Ger man debt question had been signed between Great Britain and Ger-

many.

Main points in the agreement, which is for the six months July 1 to Dec. 31, 1934, are:

1. Germany will buy at" their full nominal value all coupons of the Dawes and Young Loans own- ed by British holders which mature during this period.

2. These purchases will be made with sterling funds which Ger- many "will provide for the purpose at the Bank of England.

3. The British clearing house procedure authorised by Parlia ment to collect interest on the

Dawes and Young Loans will not be put into operation.

The only natural explanation of the unnatural course of events is that Herr von Papen has retained his office through the intervention of President von Hindenburg. whose friendship he is known to enjoy. Herr Hitler's visit to Neudeck must have been the occasion of some straight talking.

Perhaps the fact that the Davy gold medal of the Royal Society was conferred upon them conjointly in 1903. may have. helped to strengthen the mis- understanding in this country.

THE OLD TRÄFFORD JUBILEE

To-day's match will complete the half-century of Test matches play- ed at Old Trafford, for the first to be played on that ground was in 1884. The theory obstinately held by some people in the South, that it always rains in Manchester and that it is madness to think of playing Test matches there had little warrant in the past, for some of the most exciting of all the England versus Australia matches before the war were played at Old Trafford. There was, for "ex- ample, England's four-wicket vic- tory in 1886, that of 1896 when the Australians won by three wickets in spite of "Ranji's" heroic scoring sind.

VON PAPEN REMAINS

Herr von Papen's. retention of the office of Vice-Chancellor in Herr Hitler's Government is not the logical sequel of the treat- ment which he received during the week-end. Herr von Papen him- self was placed under."protective arrest," and a prominent member of his staff was among those who lost their lives.
