SIGNS OF STRIFE

BETWEEN HITLER & GOERING SOVIET POLICY. VIOLENT DISCUSSIONS RAGING. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day. 11.5 a.m.) LONDON. December 29. Field Marshal Goering's absence from the Christmas festivals in the Reich caused comment. The “Daily Mail” points out that Herr Hitler and General von Brauchitsch went to the front, Herr Hess and Dr Goebbels made speeches, and others were active but Field Marshal Goering stayed at his country home. The French radio mentions reports that Field Marshal Goering is not satisfied with the friendly policy towards the Soviet. Madame Tabouis. writing in the journal “L’Oeuvre,” says Hitler’s coldness toward Goering dates from the kidnapping of two Britons in Holland, who. he says, were in communication with Goering. The Gestapo tracked correspondence and Hitler ordered the Britons to be questioned about how far Goering's policy differed from, his own. Other sources say Goering is deliberately keeping in the background until a definite issue emerges from the violent discussions believed to be raging about the future conduct of the war and German-So-viet relations.
