Colonies as Key Issue in New Britain Policy Debate
London reports from a Daily Telegraph correspondent say English and German circles expect a stocktaking period in international discussion including colonies. Von Ribbentrop stresses Hitler's arguments but offers no constructive proposals. With a premiership change likely in May Baldwin avoids initiating policy for a successor. Neville Chamberlain is floated as next premier but cabinet formed remains uncertain.
