Distinguishes Between
German People

London, Dec Is. = (AP)-Prime
Minister Chamberlain, in a new out
spoken reference to Germany told a
luncheon audience today that Britain's
financial power was curb on Nazi
statesmen when they thought of war.
The prime minister said:
1--WE may take it that when German
statesmen-I will not say the German
people-reflect on the possible conse
quences of a conflict, if ever a con-
flict should arise between our two
countries, they think not only Of our
ornaments, but of our great financial
resources, which in a war of long
duration might well prove to be de-
Gliding factor.
"It is this sense which is always
with us, and which l am sure is in
itself a very great influence in pre-
serving the peace of the world"
Chamberlain's brief reference to
Germany seemed to indicate a some
what stronger line toward the Nazi
leadership since the German ambas-
sador and other Nezi representatives
boycotted his Tuesday night speech
in which he rebuked the German
press for its attack on Earl Baldwin
