News of the Week Our German Visitors T HE Chancellor of
the Reich and the Foreign Minister have been and gone, and everyone has been pleased with the visit. The Germans had the honour of being received by the King, and were hospitably entertained both in London and at Chequers. (Lord Lee must see from year to year the growing appreciation of that gift.) The visit was nominally an informal one without any agenda, but a trained diplomat was always present to help and perhaps to restrain his masters. The French and Italian Governments were informed of what went on. Such a visit cannot but be useful, and must oil the wheels of Europe. Our only fear about it is that the German people may be disappointed if there is no obvious reason for . " garlanding " the necks of their representatives on their return to Berlin. For Germany is truly in a sorry plight. The British Government and people give sympathy, but what more is possible ? There may arise now some new move towards another revision of Reparations. In that matter the Bank for International Settlements is the impartial authority to speak. * * *
