London, Feb. 26.
ONDON Sunday newspapers yesterday welcomed the "astonishing contrast" between the week-end speeches of the British Prime Minister, Mr, Neville Chamberlain, and the German Chancellor, Adolf Hitler.
The "Sunday Express" broadly hinted that Mr. Chamberlain's frank statement of British war aims might have been intended mainly to provide Mr. Sumner Welles, American Under-Secretary of State, a basis for discussion with Herr Hitler and Signor Benito Mussolini during his tour of Europe.
The general British verdict of Herr Hitler's speech was that it was "old stuff" which was "pitifully inadequate" when compared with Mr. Chamberlain's "calm and explicit survey of the Allied hopes for a constructive peace."
