"The most remarkable feature of the first day of the English debate was not the energy of the Opposition, nor the calm statement of facts by the defence, but rather that a belligerent country allows such open and yet restrained discussion," says the Swedish newspaper, "Nya Dagligt Allehanda," according to a special commentary issued here.
The "Social-Demokraten," another Swedish newspaper, declares that there is no doubt England will emerge stronger than before from the present Government crisis. "The Norway episode will have resulted in a firmer, a more purposeful and a more offensive British Government, and more energetic warfare will be waged by the Allies" the paper states.
"It is thus far from certain that the German surprise attack in Norway will, in the long run, increase Germany's chances to win the war. One thing certain is that the English people will take the war far more seriously than they have done so far, and \history shows how difficult it is to conquer this country," the paper Tientsin Settlement Said Near Tokyo, May 10.
Settlement of the long pending Tientsin question is a matter of only a few days, well-informed political observers predicted here today.
It was said that the British Ambassador, Sir Robert L. Craigie, and the French Ambassador, M. Charles Arsene-Henry, are waiting for final word from their respective governments.—Domei.
