Scope and Content

Frederick Voigt to W. P. Crozier.

Location: London.

Regarding Fromm's complaint about censorship, he doesn't think anything can be done right now. He has spoken (twice) with Dr Fitz-Randolph, the press attaché for the German Embassy [in London], and representative of D. Göbbels. He thinks the Nazis are being unfairly treated by the English press. He wonders if the English newspapers could take joint action against the censorship.

He comments on Knox's predictions for the Saar [if a plebiscite occurs]. He talks about the recruiting of an international police force. Knox wanted some British amongst them, but Simon vetoed it. He discusses the French situation in relation to western Germany. Poncet believes that the possibility of war cannot be excluded. Poncet agrees with Phipps that the situation is much worse than it seems on the surface.

He believes the extradition of Paveli? is a serious matter and that the Italians are deeply implicated [in the assassination of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia]. The Ustasha has been financed by Italy for several years.
