SHARP COMMENT IN NAZI NEWSPAPER WITHDRAWN FROM LATER EDITIONS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright BERLIN, October 2. (Received October 3, at 1 p.m.) Sharp comment on Britain's “ land hunger ” was published in the ‘ Angrilf,’ a leading Nazi organ, but was withdrawn from the later editions.

Mr Eden’s statement was that the transfer of any mandated territory would inevitably raise grave difficulties. Tho Government hoped, with so many international problems still unsolved, that there would be in no quarter any desire to introduce further causes of serious difficulties between the nations.]
