BRITISH PREMIER.

GERMAN PRESS WART.

BERLIN. The German Press greet Prime Min--1 ister Neville Chamberlain of Great \ Britain with reserve born of hope. It is ' suggested—and the attitude is undoubt--1 edlv official —that Mr. Chamberlain can be expected to make an effort to reach better relations with Germany, buf the comment suggests that in case of failure he will be more difficult to deal with than Stanley Baldwin was. | The 'Berliner Tageblatt"' says edij torially : —"Chamberlain has the capacity to take a definitive decision and act on ; it energetically whereas Baldwin even ' when he made a decision, always left the door open. This peculiarity of Cham- . j berlain's character can be of world | political significance if he should come to the conclusion that it is not possible | j to make an agreement with Germany. ! "This is a matter for the future, however. At present Chamberlain lias not j abandoned hope that a bridge can be built between London and Berlin. Chamj berlain's attitude will depend entirely ! on the fate of this desire despite his | family tendency to favour France." I The rest of the Press carried no formal : comment, devoting itself rather to j reviewing Mr. Baldwin's career, with j mere brief and courageous references to the new Prime Minister as the man now chiefly responsible for British foreign i i relations.
