HALT CALLED

HITLER MAKING NO NEW PEACE MOVE ACCORDING TO ROME RADIO. ACTION CAN ONLY COME FROM ALLIES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON October 17. The Rome radio quotes a German official spokesman as saying that Herr Hitler does not intend to make any new peace move. political action could only come from London or Paris. SWISS COMMENT FANTASTIC NAZI HOPES. GUARANTEES OF SECURITY ESSENTIAL. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 16. The following quotation from the Swiss newspaper "Gazette de Lausanne’’ further indicates neutral appreciation of the Allied viewpoint:— “That Herren Hitler and von Ribbentrop could believe that the destruction of Poland would not be followed by armed intervention by the Western Powers indicated disconcerting optimism. That the same men could suppose that France and Britain would endorse their action by accepting a temporary renewal of peace is outside normal politics and required a special mentality. “Herr Hitler's peace proposals were plainly unacceptable and the negative reply was inevitable. Mr Chamberlain and M Daladier agree that Germany's aim is the domination of Europe, that the alarms it gives rise to at regular intervals become intolerable. and that the struggle against this must continue till effective guarantees of the security and independence of nations has been given."
