Patience Doos Not Mean Indifference
Chamberlain Speaks Out
on
London, Dec. 21. Addressing the House of Com- mons to-day, Mr. Neville Cham- berlain, the Prime Minister, ex- pressed personal regret that it was thought necessary to have another public discussion foreign affairs as it was so difficult to say anything which would do good, and so easy to say much which could do harm. Ho emphasised that a China shop was not the safest nor the best place for a fencing match.
Mr. Chamberlain_reviewed recent developments in European affairs, particularly the visits of various statesmen to different countries, and asserted that the conversations be tween Lord Halifax and prominent Germans were confidential. He em- phasised that these conversations were not negotiations, and therefore no proposals had been more, no pledges given and no bargains struck. What they had in mind, added Mr. Cham- Lerlain, was the establishment of per- sonal contact between members of His Majesty's Government and the German Chancellor, to arrive, if possible, at a clearer understanding on both sides of the polley and out- look of both countries.
ONUS ON JAPAN
Replying later in the day to the debate on foreign affairs, and more particularly the Far East, Mr. Cham- berlain said: "What we are now doing 19 to await proof of the determina-
tion and ability of the Japanese
Government to prevent a recurrence of incidents."
"We are still anxious to serve the
cause of peace by all honourable
means open to us, but it must not
be thought that our desire for peace and our patience under repeated pro- vocation
ation means we are either in- different to our International obliga- Works, or that we are forgetful of our duty to protect British interests.
"It is now for the Japanese Govern- ment to show that it, in its turn, is not unmindful of the rights and in- terests of foreigners, and that its #ssurances and apologies mean some- thing more than words."
on
In his preamble, the Premier said: Whatever may the truth-whether the Japanese forced the war China, or whether, as the Japanese apologists seem to indicate, Japan was forced to defend herself against Chinese aggression-it is certainly a fact that no attempt was ever made by Japan to seek a settlement by peaceful means,”
Mr. Chamberlain also referred to the Japanese refusal to have any- thing to do with the Brussels Confer- ence, and declared that coercion would not have obtained the support of ony member of the conference.- Reuter,
NO PEACE IN WORLD
Attlee Attacks Propagandists Colonies Are. Not Counters
London, Dec. 21. Initiating the foreign affairs debate in the House of Commons, Mr. Clement, Attlee, Labour lender of the Opposition observed that world affairs little accorded with the peace- ful traditions of the season.
He did not in the least regret Italy's departure from the League, where her presence had become a weakness rather than a source
of strength, but this renunciation by three great Powers of the League Incant there was no peace in the world.
Dealing with propaganda, which he alleged certain States were direct- ing against democracy, against the League, the ideal of, peace, and the British Empire, Mr. Attlee declared that it had never been used with such Intensity, or on such a widespread scale is it was now being used deliberately against Britain. He was most disturbed at the reports of propaganda in the South American countries in which nothing was said to the credit of England, but only things of discredit. Also, while Britain gave an extremely good press service to papers abroad, the news was given a tendencious twist against Britain.
He understood colonies were 'dis- cussed at the Hller-Halifax talks, "We on this side, do not belleve the colonies con be treated counters in a game of diplomatic bargaining." he said amid cheers. "When we consider the colonial claim of the hungry Powers, we must remember it is equally valid for Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austela or Switzerland-Reuter's Special.
