" HAPPY ENGLAND" FRENCH PRESS COMMENT THE RESULT WELCOMED OTHER FOREIGN VIEWS (Received November 17, 5.5 p.m.) Times Cable LONDON, Nov. 16 The result of the general election in Britain is generally welcomed abroad. French newspapers remark that National Ministers usually are more modest in words and more effective in action than Labour Ministers, and express relief that France is to have a reasonably strong and united neighbour for the next few years. They pay a tribute to Mr. Baldwin as an architect of success and compliment the electorate on its decision, also on its orderliness and tolerance, which are regretfully compared with French political disturbances. Several French writers refer to " Happy England." Most of the newspapers pay tributes to British stability as revealed at the elections. Le Matin says: " In Europe are chaos and uncertainty. The British Isles are isles of the blest." The Berlin press expresses the opinion that the election result means that Britain will become even more authoritative at Geneva, where, when the time comes, the Voelkischer Beobachter thinks, she vill attempt the reorganisation of the League. The Berliner Tageblatt says it expects the Government to lead in the consolidation of British power at home and abroad. The Rome correspondent of the Times says the Government's success is generally welcomed as it is considered that a Labour success would have rendered more difficult the attempt to reach a settlement of the Abyssinian dispute which would be acceptable to Italy. However, it is emphasised that Mr. Eden is still a Minister. RANKS OF LABOUR LEADERS' DIFFERENCES (Received November 17. 8.45 p.m.) LONDON. Nov. 17 Other commentators discuss Labour's position. The Observer says that in spite of the party officially trying to pretend the result is satisfactory owing to the increased vote for Labour, the leaders are both dissatisfied and disunited. The moderates blame the Socialist League for frightening the Liberal vote, while Sir Stafford Cripps and his friends are saying that Mr. Herbert Morrison has turned a revolutionary movement into a harmless one, thus damping down the general enthusiasm. The Observer says it believes friction will increase, as Mr. Morrison is aiming at securing Liberal votes which are essential to Labour's future success. He will endeavour to broaden the movement until Sir Stafford and his followers are forced out.
