CHURCHILL SOUNDS
WARNING
EMPIRE FULLY BACKS GENEVA COVENANT
London, Oct. 24..
Mr. Winston Churchill declared that Great Britain must secure lasting command of the Mediterranean in the interests of peace and her own security, when he addressed the House of Commons on the resumption of. the Foreign Affairs debate to-day.
First he drew attention to the rapidity of the Ger- man rearmament. The incredible figure of £800,000,000 was being spent directly or indirectly in military preparations.
The re-entry of Germany into European circles, as a major power, was the most precious purpose for which the British Government could.strive, he asserted,
He was certain, he said, that the British Empire would never fight another war contrary to the League of Nations Covenant. Therefore, if the Empire were eulled upon to defend itself its cause and the League's cause would be one,

·
British authorities here to-day indicated that the Government would not withdraw fleet units from the Mediterranean Sea, in spite of Italy's action in report- edly withdrawing certain regiments from the Libya- Egypt frontier.
It is pointed out that H.M.S. Hood and H.M.S. Renown, totalling 75,000 tons of steel-clad fighting strength, were slated for Mediterranean Sea service some time ago, and before Italy commenced, to concen- trate troops in Libya.
The withdrawal even of an Italian division from Libyan soil, therefore, is not expected to alter the situa-. tion or the British naval policy..
