HITLER’S ARGUMENTS
BITTERNESS TO BRITAIN NEW BLOWS CONTEMPLATED URUGUAY’S UNFRIENDLY ACT (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyrigxuj (Received Dec. 19, 1 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 18 Reuter’s Amsterdam correspondent says that Hitler ordered the scuttling of the Admiral Graf Spee only after many hours’ arguments with naval chiefs and technical experts, who insisted that the Admiral Graf Spee must not fall into British hands, as the pocket battleships have an unusually high proportion of specially-designed instruments and apparatus, and a number of new secrets was added this summer. The Berlin press proclaims the end of the Admiral Graf Spee and the beginning of new blows against England. “The blackmailer Churchill,” it says, “will learn that he did a disservice to England by bringing pressure to bear on Uruguay to send out the Admiral Graf Spee before she was navigable. Uruguay’s action was unfriendly, crassly breaking international law under intimidation from Britain.”
