LABOUR BACKS LEAGUE: ITALY IN ERROR
London, Aug. 1.
"One of the most difficult world problems to-day is that raised by the existence of States that have Empires and States that have not," declared Sir Samuel Hoare, Foreign Secretary, during a foreign affairs debate initiated in the House of Commons to-day by censorious Opposition speeches. ·
Mr. George Lansbury, Labour leader, demanded two World Conferences firstly, a disarmament con- ference for the purpose of abolishing aerial warfare;| and, secondly, the resummoning of the World Economic Conference. With regard to Abyssinia, Mr. Lansbury promised the Labour support of the Government as long as it upheld the League Covenant obligations, though they did not ask that British should act alone.
Sir Herbert Samuel (Liberal) thought it no derogation of the League if Italy, France and Britain, under the 1906 Treaty, got together on the Abyssinian question. He asked the Government to contradict the report that Italian co-operation in Central European matters was so eagerly desired that Britain and France had tied their hands by assurances given to Italy. Sir Samuel Hoare, replying. |
satisfaction spoke with great caused by the United States having condemned any recourse to war. Britain, he said, was fully con- scious of her Treaty and Covenant obligations, and certainly intends to maintain them.
