HITLER REBUFF
FIRMNESS OF ALLIES NEUTRAL APPRECIATION SWISS PRESS OPINION ESSENTIALS TO PEACE (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Oflieinl Wireless.) Reed. 2.30 p.m. RUGBY, Octe. 15. The ready understanding in neutral countries of the Allied view is well illustrated by the following quotation from the Swiss newspapers, Journal de Geneva. It says: “It is uncertain yet whether the Reich will reply officially to Mr. Neville Chamberlain’s speech, but it has been very badly received in Berlin. “The violence of the German reaction ill concealed the disappointment caused by the very firm attitude taken by the Allies. Yet the Reich Government could hardly expect that negotiations would be opened in which no account was taken of the Polish question and could not expect Britain to agree to wipe out the past and allow it to repeat, on the diplomatic field, the victory that crowned its conquest.
“Peace negotiated on that basis would never have been a true peace, because it would have contained the germs of future conflicts.”
