Press Emphasizes Royal Visit

Triumphant Success Finds Echo in London Journals M. Lebrun's Message

London, July 23 The triumphant success of the Royal visit to France is the subject of leading articles in all the newspapers, and feelings of pride and respectful gratitude to Their Majesties, that, in their first mission abroad since them accession, they have so well and nobly sustained the character of the British Monarchy, are eloquently expressed.

Referring to Anglo-French relations, "The Times" says that the visit indicates that Great Britain and France are still comrades in a great cause, which, today, is the appeasement of European nations and the secure establishment of peace through justice.

The two Governments agreed last April to collaborate in the defence, not only of their common interests, but also of those ideals of national and international life which amita them. There exists between them in the circumstances of today a partnership which is technically some thing less than an alliance and, psy chologically, something more.
