Furthermore, surprise is ex- pressed at Sir John Simon's atti tude, in view of his frank and full discussions with Chancellor Hiller' of Germany. But resentment is less keen against Poland, who is regarded as having been forced into agreement.

(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphio Messagos Ordinance. 1894. Received, April 13, 10.15 am)

London, April 17. Broadcasting an address on the objects and results of the Stresa conference, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, British Prime Minister, to-night declared that he wish- ed the German people knew how deeply grieved were their sympathetic well-wishers at the latest handling of their grievances.

He wished, said Mr. MacDonald, that' they could! see it was not only their duty, but to their interest, not only upon their honour, but wisdom, that they join other nations to make an adequate contribution to the building up of mutual trust and confidence.

"In any event I am sure that Stresa, if its spirit is preserved, and its decision pursued, will definitely help to dispel the cloud and enable the sun to come through. says à Reuter Special message.
