COMMUNISM MENACE TO JOURNEY'S END

WORLD PEACE

German-Japan Pact Has

Gained Importance

WALL ERECTED AGAINST

ANARCHY AND CHAOS

Berlin, November 25; The Anti-Communist Pact between Ger- many and Japan bas attained Importance extending far beyond the frontiers of the two countries, declared Reich's Minister for Propaganda, Dr. Goebbels, in a broadcast speech transmitted by 'all German and Japanese radio stations at noon to-day, on the occasion of the Brst anniversary of the signing of the agree- ment.

The Pact in question, said the Minister, does not belong to the category of meaningless agreements, where efforts applied to the drawing up of them are in Inverse ratio to the resulta produced. International Bolshevism had come to recognise that a wall had been erected which the waves of anarchy chaos would be powerless to break down.

The Minister went on to say that it was also possible to observe that the Fact was being considered with constantly increasing favour in a number of other countries. This was all the more comprehensible since in the meantime numerous proofs had been furnished that Communist international was con- tinually endeavouring to interfere in the internal affairs of nations and thereby menacing peace.

MR. DE VALERA ON IRELAND'S GOAL

Uniting The "Country

Mr. De Valera told his party followers in Dublin recently, that the full national goal for Ireland had not been reached in the Free State's new Constitution, which will come into operation on Dec. 29. He said that it must be made clear that the division of Ireland was not justifled.

The aim of the new Constitu- tion was to enable a move towards the unity of the country. That Constitution represented the utmost limit of concessions to meet the sentiments of those in the North

of Ireland who were opposed to the South.
