EDEN ABANDONS SANCTIONS BUT NOT LEAGUE LOYALTY
LONDON, JUNE 18.
MR. ANTHONY EDEN, FOREIGN SECRETARY, TOLD THE HOUSE. OF COMMONS TO-NIGHT THAT ITALY HAD CONQUERED ETHIOPIA, AND BRITAIN DID NOT INTEND TO GO TO WAR IN THE MEDITERRANEAN IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE SITUA- TION.
The Foreign Secretary asserted that the Government favoured the lifting of sanctions, coupled with an effort to readjust the European situation.
"The Government is not prepared to take military action," he repeated. . But he hinted that a new Mediterranean, pact might arise out of the ashes of
sanctions at the coming Geneva meeting.
"I have concluded there is no longer utility in continuing these measures as
a means of anti-Italian pressure," he said.
In the Government's view, he added, the assurances
of mutual assistance Britain had given to various Mediterranean countries should not end with the raising of sanctions.
"It would be easy for us not to take the lead," he said reverting to the sanctions issue, "but I am con vinced our lead will be welcomed in many quarters.” Stanley Baldwin to-night declared that COMMUNIST'S TAUNTS the consequent Tougue embrollment with Italy Arrangements would be when the League of Nations met in the auttan it must consider seriously The Communist member, Mr. Wil-mile to carry out this declaration,. the whole question of collective securiam Gallacher, constantly Inter-he said. ty, which, in the view of the Govern-rupted 31r.
