Latest Hun Propaganda

‘The New York TllllCS observes that the first thing to be itotcd of the documents Berlin claims to have found in the archives of the Polish Foreign Office "is thiit they conic from a safchrcaker who asks crctlciice for his ivord to what he found when hc gut the door open- c .’

Reinforcing this impression is the statement of Secretary of State lltill: "I may say most emphatically that neither I nor my associates in the Department of State have cvcr heard of any stich convcrszttiotis as those alleged, nor do we give tlicin the slightest crcdctice. The state- ments alleged have not represented in any way at any time the thought or policy of the Am- erican Government."

Denials have come from the American Am- b-“ISFZIUOT f0 POlZIHtl and the l‘olisli ;\llll)ZlS5Il(lOl' to the United States. President Roosevelt's statement is equal to a denial.

So why should the Germans take the trouble to issue a \\’hite Paper accusing the United States of fostering ivar in Europe and undgf. taking to assist the Allies, wlieti it was nothing more than the word of a safebreaker against that of responsible authorities whom everybody otttsidc of Germany, and possibly Russia, will believe?

The fall rif rates in what is cullctl “frcc sterl- ing" has become a major plicnnniction of the international market. The British ﬁovcriiuicitt still holds $4 as the official sterling rate. It requires all British expurterg and im,,,,,~1@,-; m deal for their exchange with the Dunk of ling- latttl, at the r>fficial price. '.l'lir- difficulty’ uliicli has arisen is that the “tii.{|itciiiii§_;" of llritisli Government control has removed an ordinarily normal buying demand from the open New Yin-l,- tnarkct, while it has left thr- sollc-i-s, >ll\‘l) its incr- chants or batikcrs of other iiiitioiis, ()l' llritisli noti-rcsitlctits, to continue realizing on sterling" holdings at New York. It is a vcry tiiinntural situation. Something of the sort inviii-iitblv arises when the free flow of intcrnaliriiinl exclitttigc is arbitrarily ititerruptctl. As The Loiitlim licon- omist lately remarked, the uutiffichtl sterling market is not "a stilitcrrauenn ‘black’ market, operations in which had a criminal taint." Tilt‘. fact undoubtedly remains that the British Gov- ernment, in its wartime cxigcticics, is using cvcry endeavor f0 gct (lr:ifts,on the Unite-l Sim“ {m0 its own hands, and is doing its best to promote British export trade, especially to stich markets as South America,

Hitler wanted something when he hurried to the Brennor to meet Mussolini, this much we know. Exactly what he wanted, or what response no received. we do not yet know. The only vlslble response l0 far has been a dense smoke-screen of rumors, warnln a and outrlzht. threats of n fa In kind from Berlin. Italy, we read, will stand by with her strong right arm to hold off the Allies, vyhtle Germany gobble: Rumanla ‘a "peaceful" persuasion; Italy will oln the Ber- lln-Moscow partners p; Italy ll ready to incur Vatican displeas- ure while she sldles up to Russia.

But. it. ls also true that the Italian coasts remain danger- ously e to the British and French navles, and that the North Italian plain could provide the Allied armies with the battleground which they cannot find along the Rhine. Mussolini knows these things better than some of his ‘voluble Axis friends ln Berlin.
