The proposed visit of M. Camille Chautemps and M. Yvon Delbos to London is another hopeful sign of possible developments toward an easing of the European situation. The crisis over the salaries of civil servants has threatened to prevent it, but that dificult apparently is being overcome. It certainly is most desirable that an early opportunity should be taken for an interchange of views between statesmen of the two countries. Lord Halifax' visit to Germany has probably produced ideas on the lines of which a further approach to agreement on various important issues can be usefully discussed with French statesmen, The solidarity of the British and French outlook is an interesting factor in the situation and adds force to the view that Anglo-German conceptions may make a valuable contribution to European peace. There is little doubt that both France and Great Britain have reason to recognize the recent friendliness@of Germany's attitude on several questions which have greatly exercised the minds of their respective nations. It is far too early to be more specific in contemplation of this trend toward ce-operation. The mere fact that it can come within the purview of the commentator at this moment is sufficient.
