RALLY TO BRITAIN
GERMANS' SENTIMENT CHAMBERLAIN'S INFLUENCE LONDON, Feb. 9 The tide of public misgivings, caused by events which have occurred since tho September settlement at Munich, seems to be receding. Mr. Chamberlain's recent speeches, and especially his statement that ho looked to Herr Hitler for actions in proof of his good intentions, have done much to remove tho British public s doubts as to the wisdom of his methods. The current has. now set in again in his favour. Tho Sunday Times says: "The wisdom of Mr. Chamberlain's policy is its power of distinguishing between real and unreal grievances. It is shrewder than many, even among his friends, realise.
"Reports from Germany continue to indicate the growth of anti-Nazi feeling. People are beginning to wonder whether, even if Herr Hitler wanted it, Germany would embark on a war." Dr. Hermann Rauschning, formerly Nazi President of the Danzig Senate, says in the Spectator that Mr. Chamberlain is the m«Bt popular man in Germany, and that he has caused an enormous change in German sentiment since September.
