TRADE & PEACE
VALUE OF ANGLO=GERMAN COAL PACT HOPES OF WIDER SOLUTION. OBSERVANCES BY BRITISH MINISTER. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 22. The hope that the recent coal trade agreement between Britain and Getmany might lead to a solution of wider economic problems and thus eventually to general world appeasement was expressed by Mr Oliver Stanley, president of the Board of Trade, at'a dinner attended by Dr von Dircksen, German Ambassador, in celebration of the Anglo-German coal agreement. Mr Stanley said: “A few weeks ago Herr Hitler said that he looked forward to and desired a long period of peace. He struck a responsive chord in the heart of every listener in this country.
“I wonder if there is any surer foundation for peace than the ability of two great commercial nations to adjust the manifold intricacies of their industrial relations with mutual understanding and goodwill and benefit.” Dr von Dircksen declared that the trade talks in Berlin next month would be of lasting benefit to the two countries and the world as a whole.
