APPROVAL OF MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S STATEMENT
London, To-day.
THE CONTRAST BETWEEN the speeches of Hitler and Mr. Chamberlain was the subject of comment in the newspapers of the world yesterday. In London, the papers expressed warm approval of Mr. Chamberlain's speech and several of them, including "The Times" and the "Manchester Guardian,” quoted in their leading articles those passages in Mr. Chamberlain's speech in which he set out the Allied peace aims.
The Labour paper "Daily Herald" also stressed Mr. Cham- berlain's statement that under the present German Government there could be no security for the future. All would welcome a peace based on negotiations, but the negotiations must be with German rulers who can guarantee their honesty by freeing the countries which they have invaded.
This reference to the Poles and the Czechs is also-stressed in other pa- pers both home and abroad.
Commenting on Hitler's diatribe, the "Daily Express" comments on Hitler's move "to the left," and contrasts this

His speech contained nothing but threats and displayed no originality It was a tup-room speech.
MODEST BASIS American Typical of
comment is Tri- that of the "New York Herald bune," which says that Mr. Chamber- lain did not propound peace plans, but put forward a modest basis the kind of peace which could be ob- German tained if, for instance, the Army overthrew the Nazis and offer- ed to make a reasonable settlement.
In contrast to this was Hitler's ruth- less, inhumane diatribe. One has only to put the two speeches together realise where lie the better conditions for Europe and the world.
