London Hails Visit

London, Mar, 1.

The success and vigour of British diplomacy as, exemplified by the visit of Mr Anthony Eden and General Dill to the Near Tat was emphasized by the Press today.

The "Daily Telegraph" declares the spontaneity of acclamation wit which Mr. Eden and General Dill were received in Turkey constitutes a major discomfiture for Nazi diplomacy.

The "Daily Mail" says that the whole empire will welcome the new vigour of British diplomacy as ex-amplified in Turkey.—"at last we are passing from passive defence to action, in policy as well as in arms, "Mr. Eden's visit to Ankara is a fine piece of timing and his meeting with the Turkish leaders is at least as spectacular and certainly more convincing than the recoct bullet-proofed rendezvous of the dictators. It is pleasant to realize that these stage conspirators have now bad to change their roles for those of anxious spectators,"
