GERMANY’S NEEDS.

Colonial Issue Raised By Herr Ribbentrop, g Press Association—Copyright. London, December 16. Herr von Ribbentrop, German Ambassador at London, in his first public speech to an English audience at the Anglo-German Fellowship dinner referred to the German claim to colonies and to Anglo-German relations. “Germany wants again to be a nation able to pursue her daily work without being constantly preoccupied with cares caused by lack of the necessaries of life,” he said. “The four years’ self-sufficiency plan is a step in this direction, but Herr Hitler sees now, as before, that in the possesion of colonies and in world trade lie the most essential jiieans of raising the standard of life of the German people from the present subsistence level. A reasonable solution of the colonial question is therefore 4 most desirable.”
