PORTUGUESE POLICY
PLOT ALLEGED (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 11.30 a.m. RUGBY, Oct. 16. In broadcasts directed on South America, the Germans have been attempting to create the impression that there is dissatisfaction in Britain regarding the Portuguese policy of neutrality. It is c’ on alleged that Britain is scheming for the overthrow of Dr. Salazar’s regime. The truth is. of course, that Dr. Salazar is held in the highest esteem by Britain for his political achievements no less than for his personal qualities. So far from there being any criticism here of Portugal present policy, it has been made clear on several occasions recently that in the British view this policy is m the best interests of both countries. When Dr. Salazar recently addressed the Portuguese National Assembly, the generous tribute which he paid Britain evoked a warm response here, and the occasion was notable for the demonstration of the cordiality of Anglo-Portuguese relations
