Germany was asking nothing from
the British Empire, but would be
ready to seek colonial expansion in

The same quarters insist the offer

Today from Lisbon comes the
story that the Italians are seeking to
make separate peace with Britain
and that a neutral emissary will
shortly arrive in London to ascertain
the terms that Britain would offer.
Last week, an Egyptian newspaper
reported that an American peace
offensive was imminent, with United
States Undersecretary of State
Welles planning another European
trip-this time with a peace plan
which, if rejected by Britain, would
be followed by more active American
participation in the war if not by a
declaration of war.

At the same time the Official

ing the governor of New Caledonia
and the former governor of French
1ndo-China. Gen. Georges Catroux
whose replacement already has been
announced.
Ange Bayardelle was removed as
administrator of the Pacific island
colony and Paul Nouvel de la Fleche

Dispatches from Sydney, Aus

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
LONDON, Sept. 3.-Peace rumors
have been circulating in London
for several days without tangible
evidence that they were anything
more than the usual inspired reports
put out by Berlin and Rome. But
today, the News Chronicle reports
from Lisbon that the Italians are
seeking a separate peace through
the medium of neutral country,
while persistent reports say a Ger
man peace offer has just been made
and rejected in London.
Several days ago, it is said, a
prominent Swedish business man,
formerly head of Electrolux in this
country, arrived in London with a
new German peace offer 1t was
believed to have promised indie
Evening star., 1940-09-03

for 1t is believed in London that
there is some concern In Nazi party
circles over the failure of the Ger
man Luftwaffe .(air army to elini-
nate the Royal Air Force and
Britain's refusal to admit the de-
feat that Germany thinks that she
has had.
A winter of air warfare Is not re-
garded with enthusiasm in Berlin,
London believes. Moreover, the
British from the outset of the war
have been more apprehensive Of
seemingly attractive peace offers
originating from Berlin or from
we1l-intentioned neutrals than they
have of actual war, and British
leaders now stress that Britain
might go the way of Czecho-Slo-
vakia If any such offers were ac-
cepted.
