TRUTH HIDDEN

FROM GERMAN PEOPLE DELUSIVE HOPES OF PEACE RAISED. AS SEQUEL TO CONQUEST OF POLAND. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) BERLIN, September 13 The Propaganda Ministry is talcing' great pains to conceal the British and French determination to refuse all compromise with the Nazi regime. The German public have been informed that Germany can soon make peace with Poland on the basis of the restoration of the former German provinces and also that it would then be pointless for England and France to continue the struggle against the Reich. , BRITISH COMMENT CONDITIONS ON WHICH PEACE IS POSSIBLE. WRONG DONE TO BE RIGHTED. (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 13. A Ministry of Information communique states: “Well-informed circles in London are Considerably interested in stories reaching them from various quarters concerning peace offers which may be made to the British and French. The position is well known. They have already made it plain that they could only negotiate peace with a Government whose word can be trusted. Once a trustworthy Government is established in Germany and the wrong done is righted, Britain will doubtless be ready to consider, in coni sultation with her Allies and other friendly Powers, how a just and fair peace may be established in Europe. In such circumstances it would be possible to examine how economic conditions could be readjusted to allow all countries to derive mutual benefit from the world’s resources.”
