Berlin, Jan. 30.
Mr. Neville Chamberlain's speech at Birmingham is given great prommence in the German press Comments are, in general short and favourable, although some of Mr. Chamberlain's points fail to please Berlin.
"Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" agrees with the Prime Minister's reference to the nation's wish for peace, but adds that peace must be one of right and justice among equal declares that the "untruthfulness" of certain British and French newspapers Poisons the atmosphere.
Mr. Chamberlain has differentiated between peace-loving peoples and their Governments, complains the "National Zeitung," the paper of Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Special Commissioner for the Four-Year Plan. The journal asks whether the British Prime Minister is referring to the United States, France or Soviet Russia. It sees little hope of much disarmament because, it says, as long as Great Britain arms other nations will arm also.—Reuter.
