HIS VICTIMS

LONDON, Feb. 1 (Router)-A variety of topics were discussed by British newspapers to-day.

Commenting on Hitler's use of his victims of conquest, the "Manchester Guardian" points out that a year ago, M. Coulondre, French Ambassador to Germany at the time when Hitler was taking over Czecho-Slovakla, was asked what was the real sign- deance of this move.
