London, Feb. 21.
It may be predicted with some assurance that nothing fundamental io British aims will be changed by Mr, Eden's resignation, says "The Times" in an article to-day.
However, the attempt to prove the possibility or otherwise of building stable relations between democracies and dictatorships will be pursued with a confidence and a conviction that Mr. Eden felt unable to give it.
The country will be relieved to hear that Mr. Eden has resigned, says the "Daily Mail" His policy has produced uncertainty at home and bewilderment abroad, The "Daily Express" declares: "Mr. Neville Chamberlain wants to establish peace in our time and tries a practical way for achieving it^"
The "Daily Telegraph" expresses profound regret over Mr. Eden's resignation, but says that i£ the widening gulf between Great Britain and Italy is not to become unbridgeable, it must be closed without delay.
Mr, Eden has been sacrificed to Il Duce, says the "Daily Herald."
The "News-Chronicle" says: "Mr. Eden has taken a courageous and important step. He stood firm for com-nonsense and fair dealing. His policy would hold British prestige aloft while the Premier's would drag what remains of it in the mud."—Reuter.
