British Economic Life Irks Germany (Continued from Page 1)
Welles, arriving from Rome after talks with Mussolini, met Von Ribbentrop in Berlin as sirens sounded during the visit. The German view claims Britain uses economic pressure, with England retaining Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, to dominate world trade. Von Ribbentrop argues Germany would fight to preserve strategic control and cites British interference in Bohemia Moravia and Poland as provoked by Allied attempts to use these areas. The Foreign Office says Britain and France are still stirring trouble in Lithuania and Poland’s-governed areas.
