V, LONDON, 6th May. ,■: The Berlin ' correspondent" of "The Times" states r that the1 Berlin Press, as a whole, derives cold comfort from h the result of the. elections. Some of .the Nationalist newspapers, however, are inclined to read the result as a; warning to the Allies, and especially t6 France, that Germany, backed by a strong Na-. fcionalist representation, is in; no: mood to be trifled with. ■ The "Borsen Zeitung"- and the ."Deutsche AUgemeine Zeitang_' both think that the elections have facilitated the formation, of /air,energetic Bourgeois : Government; and that. Germany will in future be" represented with greater dignity in her dealings with foreigners:' ; That is something that France must note,/ as it means that Germany will no longer tolerate attempts to experiment with her % interrial policy. The VKieux Zeitung," which, represents the Nationalists, foresees the possibility of an early dissolution, .and a new election. This is also the. view of . the. "Borjsen Courier," which declares :—l': "How a two-thirds majority for. accept-' ing the material requirements of the Experts' Eeport: can be obtained remaijis .a puzzle." •'■■ -: ' ..'.'.-■ .Newspapers voicing the opinion of the (government parties • shirk the question Although the few outstanding results can have no appreciable effect on the position, they; declare their inability to discuss matters till, the returns are .complete. ■■'■'.■ .' ■■' ■..'.■
