"Her Majesty's Government '
welcomes the fact that this
meeting is taking place and
recognize Dr. Adenauer's initia-
tive in the matter as a genuine
step towards restoring Ger-
many's reputation in the eyes
of the world. We await the out-
come with much interest and
although press reports have ap-
peared which indicated a hitch
in the discussions. we still great-
ly hope for a satisfactory settle-
ment."
Lord Henderson who asked
the government for a statement
about The Hague talks, stressed
the justice of the Jewish and
Israeli claims for reparations
and welcomed the German move
in opening the discussions at
The Hague.
"So far, I believe, these
discussions on Jewish claims
have been kept quite separate
from the London discussion
on Germany's external debts."
Lord Henderson declared.
