FRIEND OF BRITISH EMPIRE
TRIBUTE TO STREBEMANX SERIOUS EFFECT OF ILLNESS DIPLOMACY HANDICAPPED By Telrgre ph— Press - Assn —Copyright, Received May 17, 9.30 p.m. Ignited Service. London, May 17, The critical illness of Dr. Stresemann, the German Minister of Foreign Affairs, is regarded as a serious blow not only to British, but to international diplomacy, as it is expected that several months will elapse before he resumes - office, his illness being a serious form of kidney disease. Dr. Stresemann is undoubtedly Ger* many's leading statesman to-day. Indeed, it is recognised throughout Europe that he is one of the most outstanding figures in European affairs, his knowledge of which is far above that of anyone else in German politics. His friendship with Sir Austen Chamberlain, coupled with his work at Locarno, is one of the most striking features of post-war diplomacy. This is typical of Dr. Stresemarm’s relations with Britain throughout. Certainly Britain sees in him a real friend to the British Empire.
