Glowing Press Tributes To Japanese A GRACEFUL GESTURE
RUGBY, April II. . The newspapers pay warm tributes to the Japanese airmen who flew in the "Divine Wind" from Tokio to London. Referring to the messages of goodwill which these Coronation visitors have delivered to Britain, the Times says: "Their gallant exploit has been rounded off by a graceful gesture, and Prince Ghichib'u, who reaches these shores on Monday will find his country higher than ever in the esteem of the British, public." The Morning PoSt says: ".It is well that goodwill should be emphasised just now when Anglo-Japanese rapprochcment is again in sight." The Daily Telegraph says: "The message has much in significance by the manner of its delivery, which has given dramatic espression to the sympathy conveyed from the island people of the ■ East to the island people of the West. " The News-Chronicle says: "To improve our communications is something, but to improve mutual understanding .between nations is a much greater thing."
