BRITAIN WINNING
SUPPORT OF REICH
Berlin Press Is Jubi|ant Over
Gains in Relations in
Coronation Era.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 15.-Newspaper ban
nerlines and other ofIlcially controlled
manifestations indicated today that
powerful forces are at work to i'm
prove German-British relations.
To international observers it has
been evident for some time that Ger
many Is at least considering the rela-
tive advantages Of British and Italian
friendship
Yet Italo-German friendship, in 30
far as 1t goes, seems to remain stead
fast.
From this situation may be drawn
this conclusion:
Germany would like to carry water
on both shoulders. She would like
to be good friends with both Italy
and Great Britain, which are hav-
ing new friction. But both Rome
and London are pressing her for an
outright choice. II such 4 choice
becomes inevitable, Germany will be
able to weigh all pros and cons and
command an attractive price for her
favors.
On the side Of better Anglo-G Ger
man relations are these factors:
Press Halls "Sucoesses."
The controlled evening press spoke
jubilantly Of the great successes"
Marshal Werner Won Blomberg, the
war minister, has achieved in recent
negotiations" in London during the
coronation period.
Diplomats profess to know that
Sir Neville Henderson, the new British
Ambassador, is charged with the spe-
cial mission Of making clear that
further support of Italy and the in
surgents in the Spanish war may
some day prove embarrassing to the
Reich.
So pleased were German authori-
ties with the possibilities OF rap
prochement held out by Henderson
that the press was instructed to give
the coronation Of King George VI q
big and sympathetic play" 1taly, on
the contrary, boycotted the coronation
as news story because British news
papers have jeered at the prowess, OF
lack of it. OF Italians fighting in
Spain)
The English sent the Duke and
Duchess of Kent to coronation re-
ception given in London by Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, the German Am
bassador.
Warmth Toward Rome Cooled.
Baron Konstantin Won Neurath, the
Reich foreign minister, was cour-
teous and friendly on his visit to
Rome recently but declined to COM
NIT Germany to anything beyond
"a parallelism Of intellect and views 3"
It is an open secret in the Welhelm-
strasse that Mussolini wanted, in
stead, whole-hearted German sup
port in Spain. British diplomacy, it Is
believed. kept Germany from this.
But here Is the other side:
Germany does not intend to fall
blindly into British arms An indi-
cation of this is the fact that Adolf
Hitler refrained from giving one of
his newly devised decorations for
foreigners" to George vi. He sent
him porcelain instead as . corona
ton gift.
Italy. some persons say, might have
been righteously offended II King
George had been chosen as the frst

BALDWIN PONDERS
WINDSOR CONFLICT.
Dominions May Act on Dis
pute Over Title for
Dukes Wife.
BY the Associateo Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 15.-Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin was believed in au-
thoritative quarters tonight to have
taken his renewed difficulties with
British royalty to the premiers Of the
Dominions.
As the square, jawed head Of the
cabinet retired to Chequers, his OH
cial country house, for the long Whit
suntide week end, accompanied by
some OF the Dominion's leaders, two
outstanding problems on his mind
were empire economics and Wallis
Warfeld.
Close observers considered Baldwin
leader Of the government element
which would prevent the bride-to-be
Of the Duke Of Windsor from becom-
ing "her royal highness" when she
becomes = duchess, probably early
In June.
The former King Edward VIII, who
opposed Baldwin in the crisis OF last
December, once more Is opposing him
by insisting that his wife shall enjoy
. royal title.
This controversy, Like the December
crisis until 1t neared the climax, Is
being kept from public knowledge.
The imminent retirement OF Bald
win as prime minister-many believe
1t will come within a month-would
not weaken the opposition to the fu-
ture Duchess of Windsor, 1t was said,
because his prospective successor,
Neville Chamberlain, now chancellor
OF the exchequer. is known to see
eye to eye with his chief on this issue.
