Von Ribbentrop Launches Tirade

GERMANY AND THE AMERICAN MONROE DOCTRINE.

DANZIG, OCT. 24 (REUTER).

GERMANY

HAS ACCEPTED THE ALLIES CHALLENGE TO A LONG AND SUSTAINED WAR. In a speech remarkable for its virulence towards Groat Britain, Horr von Ribbentrop, the man who misinformed Hitlor that Britain would not fight, made this declaration at a big demonstration in Danzig last night. "We shall never make peace,"

” declared von Ribbentrop, "until there are guarantees that attacks on the German people are once and for all excluded.”

VON RIBBENTROP

The war, he declared, was imposed on Germany and War Newsreels

Hitler's "magnificent and unrepeatable offer to Poland" (which, incidentally, was neither magnificent nor received by the Polish Government until German troops had marched into the country) forms the subject of another outburst in which Britain is blamed for everything.

Volunteer De proposal. The fence Corps favour the proposal na it would give them more time for training,

The Chamber suggests that for the sake of large industrial enterprisen and factories generally, no alteration of the clock should be made before March 1.
