LONDON AIR MAIL NOTES

Welcome For German Baron

(From A Correspondent)

London, Mar, 1.

If the German Foreign Minister comes to London to conduct the proposed direct talks about the Air Locamo, he will find a hearty wel- come as an old friend,

Baron von Neurath was here as Consul before the war, and as Anr bassador from 1930 to 1932.

The good relations between Italy and Germany in the post-war years were largely due to the per- sonal understanding which grew up between Baron

von Neurath and Signor Mussolini.

The Duce took very kindly to the tall, broad-shouldered German who was Ambassador in Rome from 1922 to 1930 "

Since he was recalled from Lon- don to become Foreign Minister in the Hitler Government, Baron von Neurath has been in the thick of all the battles over Germany's right to arms equally. He is by "now an expert on this question.

A Strong Pak So, also, is his successor as Ger- man Ambassador here: Dr. von Hoesch, after twelve years in Paris and nearly three years in London,

It will surprise many of his read- ers to learn that Mr. A. P. Herbert has only Just ceased to be the 'baby of the "Punch" staff.

For the last 12 years that most serious of Jesters has been its jun- for member. Now he will have precedence of two others at the Wednesday lunches.

These are, the black-and-white artist, Mr. Charles Grave, creator of philosophic sailors, and Mr. H. F. Ellis, who, amongst other things, Is "Punch's" caustically humorous film critic."

As members of the staff these now join the "Punch" table. Cabi nets have ceased to dine. "Punch" maintains the tradition-only al tered to suit a lunching age.

Into the Fold

The selection of Mr. Duncan Sandys as Conservative candidate for the Norwood by-election brings into the official fold a young man who launched his political career cn unorthodox imes: Mr. Sandys left the Diplomatic. Service to found what he called the British Movement.

He spent year-working-out-tha- plans for this non-party move- ment, which was launched last April. Its alm was to build up a body of "progressive patriotie' opinion which would infuze new life into polities.
