BARON VON NEURATH
INVITATION TO BRITAIN A SIGNIFICANT FEATURE (United Piess Association) (B.v Electric Telssraph Cor.vrieht) LONDON, June 16. One of the most significant developments in 'the international situation for a considerable time is Britain's invitation to Baron von Neurath. The fact that the invitation occurs almost simultaneously with Mr Chamberlain's assumption of the Prime Ministership is of considerable significance, especially as a growing tendency is evident within the Cabinet towards better AngloGerman relations. Though the Foreign Office says no negotiations are occurring and continues to regard the situation frigidly, considering that there is no more chance of a Western European pact now than heretofore, Britain's policy is to seek a western pact as a prelude to general European settlement. This inevitably will be the outstanding problem discussed. PRESS COMMENT ON VISIT (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, June 16. The announcement of Baron von Neurath's forthcoming visit to London is featured in the newspapers. The Times says: "The news will be warmly and unreservedly welcomed. What is required before all is that a joint and thorough study of the difficulties and interests that concern both countries should now completely, responsibly, and quietly be taken in hand."
