l 1 GERMAN PRESS LAUNCH CAMPAIGN AGAINST FOREIGN I MANUFACTURED HYSTERIA I j BERLIN, Germany, April 22 Afternoon newspapers today launched an officially inspired campaign against allegedly foreign manufactured war hysteria, at the same time continuing without abatement their attacks "indicating rejection" of President Roosevelts ten-year peace proposals. Adverse newspaper comment on Mr. Roosevelts message took the same line as that of Dienst Aus Deutschland, an organ with close foreign office connections, which last Saturday charged the American executive with trying to place war guilt in advance. There has been no other expression of opinion on this point by Dienst Aus Deutschland in the last week. Eight of the nations mentioned in Mr. Roosevelts message replied in the negative ! to Chancellor Hitlers questionnaire on "Do you fear Germany?" Under direction from official press quarters, Reich papers appealed to the world to form a common front against the "war mori-gering of the international press," and appeals were addressed to statesmen to interfere with "war mongering" in the interests of peace. Before Hitler replies to Mr. Roosevelt in the special meeting of the Reichstag next Friday, Hungarian and Jugoslavian statesmen will arrive here for important conversations. Count Paul Teleki and Count Stephen Csaky, Hungarian premier and foreign minister, respectively, will arrive in Berlin next week. In conversations with these representatives, German statesmen will seek to smooth out any difficulties remaining between Germany and Hungary. Hitler had planned to go to Berchtesgaden to work on his answer to Mr. Roosevelt, a matter which he considers of the highest importance, but he will remain in Berlin to see Foreign Minister Alexander Cincar-Marko-vitch of Jugoslavia.
