SOLID FRIENDSHIP
BRITAIN AND GERMANY ONLY WAY TO SAVE EUROPE ‘By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright] Received Feb. 16, 5.5 p.m. BERLIN, Feb. 15. Sir Neville Henderson, British Ambassador, in a speech at a dinner held by the Anglo-German Society, stressed the necessity for an Anglo-German understanding based on respect for Germany’s vital interests as a continental Power and Britain’s as an overseas Power. He added that the foundations of peace and understanding had been laid at Munich. It was contrary to common sense to regard Britain and Germany as politically antagonistic; they were complementary. Germany was a great continental Power, which did not imply that Britain was not interested in the Continent or Germany not interested overseas. There was ample scope for both, economically and in the civilising sense. It was only political competition which was dangerous. Commercial competition might be strenuous, but was neither hostile to peace nor disturbing. Evolution must ultimately lead to a solid Anglo-German friendship, otherwise Europe would founder.
