EDEN ASKS FOR BACKING Referring to the Far East, Mr. Anthony Eden said that with re- gard to the advocacy of the La- bour Members' for sanctions, and that effective sanctions meant the risk, it hot the certainty of war. nobody should contemplate any ac- tion of that kind in the Far East unless they were convinced they' had an overwhelming force to back the policy. He pointed out that In the League of Nations there were only two great naval Powers, Britain and France, and an" over- whelming force did not exist. Any course of action in the Far East must depend on the co-operation of other nations besides members of the League.
Mr. Eden said he was convinced there would be no assurance of a lasting peace in the world until International order was generally accepted by nations and some limi- tation of armaments formed part of that acceptance. Mr. Eden de-
to clared: "We have got kve through this period of acute un- certainty."
·
BRITAIN'S INTERESTS Continuing, Mr. Eden said Bri- táin had great interests in the Far East, not incompatible with those of other nations there, which they would do their utmost to de- tend.
"In our view the present con- fict will inevitably bring great im- poverishment to the Far East and whatever to every nation there, their immediate military gains may
be.
Three principles must guide
us. First we must do all we honour- ably can to secure the restoration
of peace; secondly we must do our, full share with others to fulfil our international obligations; and thirdly we must protect our own interests, and of course, British territory."
IN.. TOUCH, WITH U.S. Mr. Eden emphasised that the Government was constantly and daily closely consulting the Gov- ernment of the United States, and tact that the British and American governments had. re- peatedly taken parallel or similar action "indicated the closeness of such collaboration. It would be wrong, with the world as it is to-
