It is announced that Lord Mount Temple has resigned his chairmanship of the Anglo-German Fellowship “because of the treatment of the Jews in Germany and the attitude of the Germans towards the Catholic and Lutheran communities.” Lord Mount Temple, who, as Colonel Wilfrid Ashley, was Minister of Transport from 1924 to 1929, had been chairman of the fellowship since its inception in 1935. He is a friend of Herr Hitler, and has entertained Herr von Ribbentrop at his country house near Romsey, Hampshire. One of his daughters is Lady Louis Mountbatten. His first wife, who died in 1911, was the daughter of the late Sir Ernest Cassel. The Anglo-German Fellowship was founded to "promote good fellowship between Great Britain and Germany and their respective peoples.”
