EDEN'S OUTLINE OF FOREIGN POLICY

London, July 27.
Speaking in the debate on Foreign Office estimates. to-day, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, told the House of Commons that ever since the reoccupation of the Rhineland by German troops, the British Government has striven to start negotiations to restore, the situation.
Respecting the brief meeting of the three Locarno signatories, France, Belgium, and Britain, in London, Mr. Eden said this showed the Government's construc- tive objective had been realised. But he pointed out that this meeting was only a preliminary stage and that much diplomatic work would be necessary before a full, five-power meeting could take place,
The Government regarded the results of the Montreux Conference, which gave Turkey the right to refortify the Dardanelles, as extremely satisfactory. It had shown that more could be gained by legal methods in treaty revision than by repudiation.
Me. Eden stated that Italy in the middle of the present month had ap- proached Yugo-Slavia, Greece and Turkey and assured these Govern ments that Italy was not contempla- ling aggressive action. July con- sidered the sanctions"dinjster" closed" and looked forward to a new policy of casperation with all nations, said the Ferdien Secretary.
* n therefore glad so declare that in the view of ilis Majesty's Government there is no further need for the continuation of the mutual ssistance assurances in the Mediter ranean," said Mr. Eden.
