Bevin Plan And The UNO Foreign Policy Speech May Have Major Effect On Future Events Britain
"Britain's Patience Exhausted"
London, Jan. 24.
News despatches show the wide interest in the Government's approach to other countries for a united Europe, set out in the course of the two-day debate in the House of Commons which ended yesterday. In Lake Suc- cess, Mr. Bevin's speech on foreign polley created a profound impres- ston and it was realised it can have an important effect on the future of the United Nations.
During the last two years of the existence of the
United Nations Organisation-while the rift between the United States and Russia has steadily widened many smaller nations looked to Britain to propound a "middle way" policy.
| The British delegation's work here in many con- troversial issues has been on the whole con- ciliatory, and on more than one occasion, Bri- tish compromise resolutions have prevented open clashes and succeeded in by passing deadlocks.

"We should make it plain, he said, "that we will continue to be willing to meet anywhere, under any auspices, and to use all diplomatic procedure, not only to try and seek better re- lations with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, but to dia- cues any questions that lie be- tween us.
