Conjecture Over Visit To Germany
Lord Halifax May Try To Bring Hitler To Geneva
London, Nov. 15.
The hastening, by one day of Lord Halifax's departure for Berlin is at- tributed by the Times diplomatic correspondent to the anxiety "to pro- vent any more mischief from the spate of interested rumour (which has chosen to regard the visit as hanging In the balance ever since the prospect of it was first 11- nounced)."
Both the Daily Mall and Dally Ex- press diplomatle correspondents sug- gest that the British Government has in mind bringing back Germany to the League by the revision of the League, tie erasion of war guilt clauses and the reallocation of man- dates.
The Daily Telegraph and News» Chronicle however affirm that the visit will serve only a an opport- unity for the exchange of ideas with the German Government "to discover how far the will to agree, as well as the measure of agreement, extends." -Reuter.
Mr. Eden Not Informed?
London, Nov. 15.
At question hour in the House of Commons to-day, Mr. Neville Cham- berlain, the Prime Minister, refused to answer pointed questions as to whether Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, fully approved the visit of Lord Halifax to Berlin and whether Mr. Eden initiated the departure of Lord Halifax.
Some believe that Mr. Chamber- lain's silence confirmed rumours that Mr. Eden was not aware of the trip of Lord Halifax until arrangements had been completed.
The German Press states that the departure of Lord Halifax should be postponed unless Great Britain curbs newspaper reports regarding Ger- many.
Meanwhile it is disclosed that Mr. Chamberlain is postponing the friend- ship conversations with Italy pend- Ing the return of Lord Halifax, re- sulting in the suspicious Italian press comments warning that Lord Halifax "Is hitting his head against a stone wall if he goes to Berlin
with the idea of separating Italy and Ger- many."United Press,
Many Robjects
London, Nov. 16.
It is understood that the talks will cover a wide range of subjects, in- cluding the anti-Comintern Pact and the new Western Part to replace Locarno.
There are suggestions in German quarters that Hitler is anxious to receive clarification of the British attitude towards German and Itallas Interference in Spain and German policy in Central Europe,
The conversations between Lord Perth and Count Clans, which at onc time were expected to open con- currently in Rome, have been de- ferred, as it is felt in London that a more opportune moment would arise which settlement of the Spanish question is in sight.-

Picturo Meanwhile, we must be patient as nothing will be accom-| plished by econonile sanctions, which require the co-operation of all na-: tions and which are impossible while) Italy and Germany are co-operating with Japan."
Senator Benneth, C. Clark urged the immediate Invocation of the Neu- trality Act, saying: "Nobody is really willing to enforce sanctions, as de monstrated by the French and Bei- tish attitude against Italy."

He accused the British and French Confer- diplomats at the Brussels ence of endeavouring to manoeuvre Lie United States into responsibility for anti-Japanese action. that some influential persons favour- ed fighting Japan in order to main- tain the United States trade with China. "That la ridiculous because the trade with Japun exceeds the trade with China and South America combined."
Those favouring the invocation of The Neutrality Act are apparently undecided as to the means of zehlev- Ing it.
Senator Clark said that his action depended upon his conference with his colleagues. Senator G. P.
