PEACE OFFENSIVE
BRITISH COMMENT ON NAZI-SOVIET MOVE Insolent and Iniquitous Proposals ONLY FAINT ELEMENT OF SURPRISE POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANCE DISCUSSED (British Official Wireless.) • RUGBY, September 30. The dominant note struck by Press comment on the latest Nazi-Soviet move continues to be an insistence on its inevitability and expectedness in view of the manoeuvres which preceded it. “The Times” says of the agreement; “Its terms contain'a faint element of surprise in the degree of insolence and iniquity they achieve, hut no other.” At the same time the potential significance of the developments culminating in what “The Tinies” calls the “nocturnal bargaining and banquetings” of if. Stalin and Herr von Ribbentrop is not minimised. The ‘‘Daily Telegraph,” “Manchester Guardian” and “Daily Herald” all give serious consideration to lheir implications. In all editorial eonmicni attention is also devoted to the parts of the joint declaration which foreshadow what is generally referred to in the Press as a “peace offensive.”
