which he deplored.
 
 
The ordinary German was beginning to feel that whenever
the German hand "plucked a feather from a gooser the English 
boot was immediately applied to kick the German hand away".
England, in the ordinary German mind, might soon be regarded as 
the country which opposed Germany's claims to colonies, to 
Germany's rights in Eastern Europe, that England stood in Prague 
preventing a solution of the German question In Czecho-Slovakia; 
that England prevented a just solution of Austria, of Danzig and
Nemel and so on. This was extremely dangerous.   He hoped that 
such a policy would not continue. The German Government was 
doing everything to prevent the spreading of this feeling, 
because it laid such tremendous value on Anglo-German cooperation. 
He begged Lord Lothian to realise that the two countries should 
not let themselves drift to disaster. He spoke with great
earnestness.   Germany was not a menace to Britain, why
therefore did Britain pursue this policy against Germany.
With Britaln Goering wished to co-operate. He felt it to be 
somewhat awkward and against the grain (wickwarks) to 
co-operate with Italy; it was not what they primarily wished,
but it was better than having no friends at all.
 
 
He declared with the utmost solemnity that Germany at
the present time had no agreement (alliance) with any country,
neither with Japan nor with Italy.
 
 
Nothing is lost yet, continued General Goering. But
England should be the first country to appreciate the fact that 
Germany would not allow her people to be oppressed. Germany 
should be treated as a real Partner with the responsibilities 
of "working" Partner of equal rank.
 
 
Lord Lothian in reply ageed that we had reached a
dangerous stage. At the beginning of the century England and
Germany had drifted apart and each had began to look for Allies.
