Lord Rothermere was apparently
suggesting he was gong to drop her

Rothermere telling her he would

her life"
The 43-year- princess testified
she met the 7l-year-old Lord Roth

in the cause of Hungary at q

news in his paper and said he would

she asserted.
In 1929 Lord Rothermere es-
poused the cause of Hungary and
made efforts to get the Treaty Of
Trianon revised.
Sir Oswald Mosley. leader of the
Fascist British blackshirt organi-
zation, received Lord Rothermere's
support in 1884. The publisher was
severely criticized in many quarters
for this.

Nazi Pressure Seen
Behind Neutra|s'
Move for Peace
Germany Increasing
Protests on Belgian
And Dutch Policy
Bv PERTINAX,

PARIS, Nov 8 (NAN.A).-It Is
difficult to believe that King Leo
pold of Belgium and Queen Wilhel-
nina of the Netherlands and their
Ministers entertain the least illusion
about the fate Of their joint peace
initiative. If they did, the speech
delivered by Viscount Halifax, the
British foreign secretary, must have
brought them back to their senses.
But the theory accepted by most
is that both sovereigns did not
think for one minute that they
would succeed in inducing France
and Britain to rally to proposals
which could not but put the seal on
the destruction of Austria, Czecho-
Slovakia and Poland, suppress ali
organized resistance to the Hitlerian
empire and invest the latter with an
insuperable hegemony practically
over the whole European continent.
The two heads of state have lent the
peace offensive begun by Adolf Hit
Ter on October 6 a support which
neither Josef Stain, Premier Mus
solini, Gen. Franco nor any Of the
Scandinavian states have been bold
enough to give.
Reich Protests Increase.
About the form taken by German
pressure, full information is not
available here. But it is q we'll
established fact that German pro-
tests against "unneutrar" articles
published in the Belgian press and
against negotiations conducted in
London and Paris by the Belgian
and Dutch cabinets to reconcile the
rules of the Anglo French blockade
with the requirements of their ma
tional economies have gradually be-
come during the last fortnight more
and more brutal. The German

Basis Is Being Laid
In Shanghai for
u. 5.-Japanese Talks
Tokio's Minister at Luroe
Arrives for Sturt of
Exploratory PorIeys
BY A. T. STEELE,

Chicago Daily News FOREIGN Correspondent
SHANGHAI, Nov. 8 (By radio) -
The arrival here tonight of Skomotsu
kato, japanese Minister at Large,
is expected to signalize the opening
OF exploratory discussions with
American and British diplomatic
representatives on this collision
ground of japanese and Occidental
influences. Japanese declare that
kato is coming here not to negotiate.
but rather to lay the foundation for
future negotiations in Washington
and elsewhere.
When Kato arrives he will find
the American cruiser Augusta, flag
ship of the Asiatic fleet, dominating
the water front of Shanghai's Inter-
national Settlement and symbolizing
the new Importance of the American
Navy in the Far Eastern picture.
British war vessels, which for years
have overshadoWed the Bund, have
been withdrawn for war service
leaving only few picayunish gun
boats.
Within the past month the
japanese have made a practical be-
ginning in their efforts to improve
relations with the United States by
settling a few irritating points of
friction. The hostile and Indifferent
attitude Of japanese authorities on
the spot has turned into cordially,
and protests are no longer ignored,
but are now usually answered. Other
concrete manifestations Of good will
are the restoration of Shanghai
University to its American owners,
a diminution of slapping incidents
and other assaults on Americans,
and the release of 5000 tons of
American tung oil which had
been detained at Hankow for the
past year.
Big issues are still unscratched and
rather ominous note is the uncon-
frmed report from Toxic that the
powers will be referred to the yet
unborn Japanese-sponsored Wang
Ching-wei government protected
for Central China if they attempt
to breach such vital questions as
the reopening of the Yangtze and
foreign claims on customs revenues.

ed yesterdays communique from
The Hague inconspicuously on page
2 without comment, while the re-
manning two carried nothing at all.
Attack on Neutrals Ceases.
Newspaper attacks on the little
neutrals for not theoretically pro-
testing the British blockades effect
on their shipping ceased today as
abruptly as they started yesterday.
Germany, authorized sources said,
finds fault with neutrals because
they keep smiling when their toes
are stepped upon by Britain"-a
reference to the British blockade.
So long as that attitude remains
mediation offers are futile, these
sources said.
Evidently 1t was decided to halt
newspaper agitation until Hitler had
considered the neutral proposal. He
had expressed welcome" of similar
offer made by Belgium and the Meth
erlands three days before the in
vasion of Poland, September /.
Some officials expected favorable
reception this time, but the first
Nazi reaction was that the best
mediation opportunity had been
missed after Hitlers october 6
peace" speech.
Although initiative tor advancing
the mediation proposals was credited
to Leopold, informed quarters at The
Hague said Queen Wilhelmina could
be expected to take an active hand
in any diplomatic negotiations that
might be conducted.
The offer was the second made by
the King and Queen. On August 20,
three days before Germany invaded
Poland, the sovereigns fruitlessly
proffered their good Offices to medi-
ate.
Some sources intimated the pres
ent proposal was prompted by be-
lief that Germany was about to
gamble on an attack against the
MaginOt Line.

Peace Gesture Reported
Result of German Note

BY Radio to The Star.
PARIS, Nov. 8-King Leopold S
visit to The Hague, according tc in
formation reaching this correspond
ent. was decided upon by a council
of ministers held at Brussels to
examine Germany's stern note of
last Saturday, which requested
Qualification of Belgium's neutrality
and of its relationship to Holland
Revelation of the delivery of this
virtual ultimatum in Brussels was
made Monday.
Two possible stands which the
Belgians might decide to take in
face of the German menace were
discussed in the course of that cab
met meeting, according to the
latest information:
l. A definite understanding be-
tween the two neutrals by which
they would regard their respective
security and integrity as interde-
pendent.
2. To accept the German demands
and make a renewed declaration
of neutrality, emphasizing the desire
of Belgium and Holland to show
complete impartiality toward the
two warning camps.
With Holland, it is believed, re-
jecting the first proposal because Of
the possibility of its precipitating
crisis, both parties agreed to a
somewhat modified expression of
the second proposal. This took the
form of a peace appeal. reiterating
the former appeal made by both
countries shortly before the out
break of hostilities.
The impression prevailing among
French official circles is that this
new peace appeal. despite the excel
lence of its intentions, stands little
chance Of finding a hospitable echo
in France, in view of the impossi-
bility of discovering any acceptable
grounds for discussion with the
German dictator.
To what extent the element of
fear has influenced Belgium and
Holland in addressing this appeal to
the belligerents is the question
asked in Paris newspapers today,
particularly in view of the intensifi-
cation of German military prepara-
lions and the massing of mechan-
lied troops on the borders of these
two countries.
This, however. may be interpreted
as either a move preparatory to
launching an attack on one or both,
or else a new phase in the war of
nerves."
