New York Times—There is one ek ment in this expression of the popular will which stands out so conspicuously as to be unmistakeble. It is the desire for a_government with a dependabl majority of its own in the Hol Commons which will indulge in no wild experiments of extravagance, but will strive, above all things. for stability, sound financial administration and the wise conduct of foreign affairs | New York Sun—Voters of Great Brit- aln have demonstrated * * * it pays to | tell the truth to the people.

BERLIN, October 29.—German press comment on the Conservative victory in the British elections centered yesterd: on the fear that Great Britain wouid soon erect barriers against Germany’ export trade and would make solution of the reparations problem more dif- ficult than ever. Germany's trade balance with Great Britain in 1930 amounted to about $150,000,000 in her favor. Hopes weie volced that a most-favored nation agreement would mitigate the worst hardships of & possible British . pro- ’ tective tariff.
