CHAMBERLAIN’S SPEECH
NO RISK OF MISCONCEPTION. FIERCE GERMAN ATTACKS EXPECTED. (Independent Cable Service.) LONDON, April 4. “The Times,” in a leader today, says that the statements of Mr Chamberlain and Lord Halifax yesterday were not designed to add anything to Friday’s declaration, but are valuable because they defined the origin and purpose of the pledge to Poland beyond all risk of misconception at Home or abroad. The TDaily Telegraph” says that the Prime Minister’s speech was that of a man who has set his course and knows that there is no turning back. The German newspaper “Berliner Lokalanzeiger,” says that apparently Mr Chamberlain wants to hold his umbrella over Germany like the sword of Damocles. With Herr Hitler’s return from Hamburg today, it is expected in Berlin that the newspapers’ “Gott Strafe England” campaign will get properly going. German circles believe that Rumania is safely in Germany s pocket, while Yugoslavia’s geographical position makes impossible her adherence to the British line up.
