AngloGerman Friendship
Necessity Stressed by British Ambassador FOUNDATIONS AT MUNICH United Press Association.—By Electrlo Telegraph.—Copyright. BERLIN, Feb. 15. Sir Neville Henderson, British Ambassador, in a speech at tho AngloGerman Society dinner, stressed the necessity of Anglo-German understanding based on respect for Germany's vital interests as a continental, and Britain’s as qn overseas Power. Ho added that the foundations of peace
and understanding were laid at Munich. It was contrary to commonsensc to regard Britain and Germany as politically antagonistic; they were complementary. Germany was a groat continental Power, and Britain a great maritime Power, which did not imply that Britain was not interested in the Continent or Germany not interested overseas. There was ample scope for both economically and in a civilising sense.
It was only political competition which was dangerous, he said. Commercial competition might bo strenuous, but neither was hostile to peace nor disturbing. Evolution must ultimately lead to solid Anglo-German friendship, otherwise Europe would founder.
