EDEN'S VICTORY IN DIPLOMACY
COLLABORATION MUST BE CONTINUED
Once again Mr. Anthony Eden, Great Britain's young and handsome envoy in the business of peace preservation in Europe, has won a diplomatic victory and apparently healed a dangerous breach between England and France.
With the French Government viewing with alarm Great Britain's alleged surrender to Germany's "new navy" advocates, Mr. Eden's task in Paris was a difficult and delicate one. In conversations with M. Laval he has apparently reassured the French Govern- ment. In any epent he has obtained the French Prime Minister's admission that collaboration between Britain and France must continue.
Mr. Eden continues his conversations in Paris to morrow, and will later explain Britain's naval views to Italy.
