 London, Aug. SO.--slowly but sure ly Great Britain b edging up to 8 proposal to draft e new Locatno pact of peace between Germany, France, Italy and herself, and slow ly but surely by speeches and by press articles the public of Britain is being prepared for this eventual ity.
 All this means Q decided change from the diplomatic set-up of only a few months ago. Then Stanley Baldwin was premier. Baldwin put England on the road to a gigantic rearInament program costinf $7,oOO,. 00,000 because he feared what was in the minds of Hitler and Musso- lini, Baldwin had proclaimed--a warning to Germany-that Eng lands frontiers were on the Rhine. Baldwin was content to let foreign affairs be conducted by his young secretary of foreign affairs, hand- some Anthony Eden. Baldwin was also inclined to agree with Maxim Litvinoff, Bolshevik commissar for foreign affairs, who said that peace in Europe was one and indivisible.
 In other words, If there was to be Q new Locarno pact, 1t must not only seek to protect the peace and

marked 0ermany's governors, the Naxi bosses retallated by ordering out of Germany Norman Ebbutt, the Times chief correspondent in Ber- lin. It was not contended that Eb- butt had done anything beyond his journalistic work. The grievance was that he was too good a journalist He had too good news sources and he published too much news of vital importance that Germany did not want printed.
 The News-C Chronicle of London editorially said that to expel a Times man almost amounted to a diplomatic incident. It also stressed the fact that the Times represents section of opinion very favorable to an understanding with Germany The Times itself, almost more in sorrow than in anger, editorially said:
 If Ebbutt is compelled to leave, 1t would merely confirm in their opinion those people in this and in other countries who consider that the Na2i standards do not accord with the usual courtesies of civil- ized international life, and would be Q serious setback to those who are working for an improvement of Anglo German relations"
 Whether the Times will throw its powerful influence against Nazi Ger many now is question. The Hitler ties exiled from Berlin the able cor- respondent of the arch-Tory Morn- Ing Post over a year ago and ever since that time the paper has been l'pretty sour on Hitlerism.

NAZI ADMIRERS
 ACTIVE IN ENGLAND


 ACTIVE IN ENGLAND
 But things have changed since Baldwin gave up the premiership and took a seat in the house of Lords. Neville Chamberlain, the new premier, Is inclined to think only of Q western pact-and to let Russia, Czechoslovakia and the rest take their chances with Germany. He has visuaiized himself as the man who can smooth things oyer with Germany and Italy, the tWo na. tons that have most disturbed the minds of English peace lovers.
 For that reason he has taken more active part in moulding for- eign policy and has almost made Eden play second fiddle. It is Chamberlain who has fiirted with Hitler and who has exchanged friendly letters with Mussolini.
 h British society there has al- ways been a strong element which favored Germany and never more so than since 1t has had c Nazi government. One of the great so. Glhk iGhdGES VI tiiG dbyD AVka ASSht- donderry, has for some time been 6 strong advocate of 6 rapprochement with Germany. Another has been Lord Mount Temple, who Is head Of an organization whose main pur- pose b to bring Germans and Brit ons into closer, friendlier relations with each other.
 In London 1t b alleged that Ain- erican- -born Lady Astor Is actively pro- German. She has been lavish irl entertaining Won Ribbentrop and other German representatives. Her feeling is explained on grounds Of her puritanical point of view (ghe is c famous teetotaicr) which causes her to disapprove heartily of France. It's c case with her, people say, of not loving Germany more but France less.
 Tn the cabinet itself there are several members who have strong pro- German ieanings. The same is true Of many bankers in "The City" -Londons Wall street. If given any encouragement by the government, they would gladly loan Germany some more money, despite the dif- faculties bankers have had in col- lecting anything Of their last loans to that country.
