FAVOURABLE COMMENT

IN COMMONS

London, May 22.

Mr. Stanley Baldwin, addressing a crowded House of Commons, referred to the impossibility of giving a considered reply to Herr Hitler's speech in the Reich- stag, but promised that the speech would receive the fullest and fairest consideration.

The Government, said Mr. Baldwin, recognised that Hitler had made more precise the German attitude in several directions and had indicated in a number of respects what Germany was prepared to do. The Gov- ernment would devote to these points the closest atten- tion, in a spirit of sympathy and candour.

Mr. Baldwin added that the Government would

Mr. Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, made the announcement in a broadenst speech to-night, and also asserted that the world was: on the threshold of a great com- mercial and-industrial revival.

Mr. Hull explained that the "Maritime Day" was being held in order to emphasise the necessity of the United States shipbuilders maintaining an adequate merchant marino in view of the increasing bulk of America's trade. ・・

GERMANY SEES RAY OF HOPE

BALDWIN'S SPEECH

PRAISED

AIR PARITY ESSENTIAL

Berlin, May 22. "A spark of hope at the eleventh hour" is how "Silex", writing in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung greets Mr. Stanley Baldwin's speech in the House of Commons.

This commentator says that England will treble her air weapon in order to have parity with France because air parity of the three Western European Powers has became the basis of negotiations for an air pact which will replace the Locarno Pact.

Other Nazl organs comment similarly, describing the British Minister's speech as good begin ning and the first sign of allevia tion of tension, showing a will to comprehend the seriousness and large-mindedness of the German

offer to the world.-Reuter.

President Roosevelt delivered his veto of the Pat man Bonus Bill to-day and the House of Representatives promptly over-rode it, according to a United Press message from Washington.

An earlier Reuter message from Washington tells of President Roosevelt's warning to the nation, de- livered with the veto to the Bill.

President Roosevelt, says United Press, declared the Patman Bill would not improve the unemployment and "the Treasury notes would quickly return to the banks which already have more than ample credit."

Senator Pope, who had voted for the Bonus Bill in the Senate, said he had changed his view and would vote to sustain the veto.
