London, May 17.
Dr. Streseniann's critical illness is regarded as a serious blow not only to British but to international diplomacy,
as on the whole it is expected that it will be several months before he resumes office, bis illness being a serious form of kidney disease. Dr. Stresemann undoubtedly i s Germany's leading statesman to-day. Indeed' it is recognised throughout Europe' that he is
one of the most outstanding figures in European affairs, his knowledge of which is far above that of anyone else in German politics. His friendship with Sir Austen Chamberlain, coupled with liis work at Locarno, is one of the most striking features of post-war diplomacy. This is only typical of Dr. Stresemann’s relations with Britain throughout. Certainly Britain sees in him a real friend to the British Empire. CONDITION IMPROVING (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) (Rec. May 17, 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, May 16. Dr. Stresemann passed a comparatively quiet night, and is improving.
