MAN WINS ; INIOLICY1 Joachim vtmIUbbentrp Lived lnj Ottawa But Is Now Hitler's Ambassador at Large I LONDON, June 27: The success of the negotlaUons which have crowned the efforts of Oermany recently have been due to the work of a man who lived in Ottawa for a number of years. Joachim von Rlbbentrop. Oermany's ambassa-tor-at-largc. remains the mystery man of European foreign affairs. He has risen rapidly In favor with Chancellor Adolf Hitler in the past year, as 'the promotions granted him indicate. And he has played a prominent role in the important negotiations between Germany and other European countries notably Britain and France on the disarmament qucsUon. Although once a resident of Ottawa little Is known of von R'.bben- trop's background ur of his exper- year in vnc uerman war muiisto when the then prerldent, Paul von Hlndenburg. named him In April. 1934, special German commissioner r disarmament. A year later, on Hitler's birthday, April 20, he was promoted to a high rank In the Schutz Staffel, the Nazi guard troops. And at the end of May he was named ambassador-at-large. Von Rlbbentrop has been mentioned several times as a possible successor to Bernard von Buelow state secretary In the foreign office. It Is believed In some quarters that the post of ambassador-at-large is a stepping-stone to the foreign office post. Von Rlbbentrop was the Intermediary through whom Hitler sought to convince Britain, France and Italy of Oermany's right to equality during the past year.
