EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
THE HINDENBURG ELECTION.
London, April 28.
In an atmosphore of restrained regret, the newapapers generally adopt a "wait and seo" attitude with regard to Hindenburg's election. The Daily Chronicle says thore is no occasion for hasty steps and ill-considered criticism.
The Daily Herald remarks that Hindenburg is not likely to do anything impulsive and foolish,;.
The Daily News anys that British statesmen must play the part of peacemakers, recognising, the enormous, strength of German Liberalism, which is one of the most astonishing and most hopeful movements in new Europe.
The Daily Graphic thinks the return of the Hohenzollern's matters little, but the return of the spirit of the Hohenzollerns matters much. Germany has taken at least, the first step backward."
The Daily Telegraph regards Hindenburg as a political norientity. His triumph was largely, the work of one of the most active and dangerous politicians in Europe, Admiral Tirpitz, who may be relied. upon to make the fullest use of the opportunities now opened to him and his friends.
The Morning Post says the joybells of Berlin are ringing in the victory of Hindenburg and also sounding the knell of democratic goverment in Germany. On the other hand the Daily Mail says that democracy immediately answers to a strong lead. German industry will be stimulated to its utmost. increasing Britain's trading difficulties.
Melbourne, April 28.
The Argus expresses the opinion that the Hindenburg election is merely a tribute to a popular Idol, and derives comfort from the small communist vote.
·
The Age declares that the Hindenburg line in politics can not capable of. threaten no danger that Britain and her allies are meeting.
Amsterdam, April 28. The Handelsblad says that the election of Von Hindenburg shows. how clearly the German people are still dominated by sentimental as opposed to political feelings. His success is primarily personal. Rome, April 28.
The Fascist paper Popolo d'Italia rejoices in the anti-democratic verdict in Germany. The anti-Fascist Corrier Della Sera regards the 27th as an illiated day for the forces fighting for order, democracy and European pacification.
Brussels, April 28. Astonishment is the keynote of the Belgian comments. Hope is expressed that those who still believed that Germany was evolving have their eyes in the direction of wisdom and peace will now opened.
Paris, April 28.
The election of Von Hindenburg is still the engrossing theme to-day, the newspapers generally reiterating that however Claqulet- ing the result may be, it has the advantage of showing the allies and the world the innermost feelings of the German people.
The Matin says that Germany will now be very closely watched by the little entente and that certain defensive agreements thought impossible a few days ago will now be signed without difficulty.- Reuter.
New York, April 28.
The New York World says that the election of General Von Hin- denburg, like the return of M. Caillaux, symbolises French renuncia- tion of continental mastery while Hindenburg symbolises German refusal to accept a permanent position of interiority in Europe. If France has the grace to acknowledge Germany's position' as a nation and the Gorman Nationalists have the sense not to exploit their slender victory, then the outcome may be far better than the name of Hindenburg suggests.
The New York Times says the immediate effect of the Nationalist's triumph on Germany's ex-enemies obviously represents no gain for the cause of European appeasement. Von Hindenburg's pledge of loyalty to the republic is undoubtedly sincere. He is not likely at his age to lend himself to any desperate adventure, but it still remains to be seen whether the unreconciled monarchist element will not read in the election a mandate to press forward.
The Herald-Tribune says the Reich in choosing Von Hindenburg cut off its pose to spite its face and heedlessly humiliated the most useful friends Germany had abroad. It immensely strengthened France's case against Germany.
While no official comment on Von Hindenburg is ob tainable, it is known that Treasury officials regard the election as indicating tendency of the majority of Germans towards conser vatism, not justifying any apprehension over the financial situation. Fears in some quarters that the election will cause important banking interests to withhold support are discounted on the ground that American investorst 'care little about the political situation so long as the governmental machine is functioning well as the German machine is regarded to be doing. Yesterday's reaction in the money market, particularly in German bonds is regarded as temporary. Reuter's American Service.
London, April 28,
The Times says that the election of General Von Hindenburg is regrettable hoth in the interests of Germany and of England. The event is serious because it is an ostentatious manifestation of the fact that the opinions and sentiments of many millions of German voters are as monarchical and reactionary as before the war. The defiant choice of an avowed upholder of the Hohenzol lerns will not fail to quicken and intensify the distrust of German intentions now existing in France and elsewhere.
Unless Germany's attitude under Von Hindenburg towards the Dawes gcheme is one of unflinching honesty and good faith the present reluctance of America and Britain to grant furthen credits to Germany is hardly likely to diminish.-Reuter
Paris, April 28,
The papers state that General Von Hindenburg's election dis- pels any equivocation. Le Quotidien, the organ of the left block, says that France who gave so many proofs of pacifism and generosity

will not henceforth grant concessions which, in view of the revival- of German militarism would be but failings.
The Gaulois ostéema that the election makes clear the meaning of the German offer of a pact guarantee. The Petit Journal says the Allies must resolve the problem of security and take all necessary stops, The Matin says the Allies must face the new altuation without prejudice but firmly -Haves.

POUND STERLING BILLS.
Washington, April 28. "Mr. Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury, ie of the opinion that the purchasing of pound sterling bills in the open market is a desir able means of stabilising exchange. It is denied that Mr. Mellon was consulted in regard to the verbal agreements said to have been rouched between the New York Federal Reserve Bank and the Bauk of England, but Treasury officials explained that he regarded auch Anglo-American financial co-operation as a progressive step. While it is generally bolloved that Britain will seek credit hore to offset the bills taken up by the Federal Reserve Bank, it is declared that Mr. Mellon is unaware of the plans for a loan although he regarded such a move as an obvious one,
