“FLOGGED & BRANDED”

NAZI PRESS DERIDES ROOSEVELT SINISTER HINT IN GOERING ORGAN. TALK OF BITTER LESSON FOR POLAND. BERLIN. April 29. The Press abuses and derides President Roosevelt today in marked contrast to Herr Hitler’s restrained sarcasm. The “Lokal-Anzeiger” says: “Is there a single mortal in the world who would today want to be President Roosevelt? Flogged and branded, there stands in the pillory of humanity a man who has discredited his name.” Field-Marshal Goering’s “National Zeitung” says: “Only time will show whether the bitter lessons which the Poles and president Roosevelt must learn again will induce them to cease deceiving themselves. If they do not, the final result of Germany policy will harm them and their nations.” An inspired statesmen says that important Italian and German military discussions are expected during the visit of General von Brauchitsch, Com-mander-m-Chief of the German Army to Rome, and it would only be natural if the occasion was used for intimate discussions going beyond the programme originally laid down for the visit. . The statement adds that political circles in Rome warn Poland against endangering her good relations with Italy. For example, Czechoslovakia, and Italy’s attitude to her, shows.what Italy’s attitude would be if untenable positions were obstinately defended. Italy, says the statement, believes that Britain intimated to Poland that the guarantee does not amount to opposition io reasonable suggestions.
