Rec. ' April 17, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, Saturday. Sir Austen Chamberlain, in the course of a statement, said: "We have put our house in order and balanced our Budget and can face ihe future confidently, but not alone. Other nations must contribute if the world is to recover its lost prosperity. Jnless we stand togetber we shall iall one after another into the ,comnon pit of misery and decay. The ime for a policy of each for himself itid the devil take the hindmost has :orre past. "Americans, Englishmen and Coninental Europeans must remember hat they are also citizens of the rorld. One longs for Herr Stresenann again. Herr Hitler is no Straselann. Let us pray that no folly will e attempted lest the reaction in Germny should be followed by a similar eaction elsewhere. "Tbe people of the United States roclaim that a China changed by jree won't be recognised. China needs rm attention from Europe, and we ill be astonished by th6 progress imlediately possible. Does the United tates recognise, as Europe does, a ronger desire for agreement and )-operation. "If Europe seeks salvation by mutal sacrifiee, she will turn to Ameca expecting her to be not less unilfish and far-seeing. There is no ire for the evil from which the orld is suffering unless war debts e dealt with simultaneously and in ,e same spirit as reparations, the lolition of which is America's dere no less than Englishmen's and uropeans'. The sacrifices will be in in unless wisdom and understanding e given the American people."
