Tho “Morning Post’s” Berlin correspondent says there is a universal feeling that it is vain to hope that the change in the Premiership of Britain means any advantage to Germany as there is no prospect of Britain altering her view in connection with the Ruhr occupation.

England is weary of war and is imbued with a shortsighted egoism, with no further interest in Central Europe, and is lacking of a real statesman.
