SENATOR WILLIAM E. BORAH, DEAN OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE AND ITS LEADING AUTHORITY ON INTER- NATIONAL AFFAIRS, BELIEVES THAT THE EUROPEAN DIPLO. MATIC CRISIS, WHICH CAUSED THE RESIGNATION OF BRI- TISH FOREIGN SECRETARY ANTHONY EDEN, RESULTED FROM ABONDONMENT BY GREAT BRITAIN OF HOPE FOR AN AL- LIANCE WITH THE UNITED STATES.
Borah, who is the ranking Republican member of the Senate's powerful Foreign Relations Committee, said in an interview with the United Press that he was convinced the purpose of Britain's move to seek an agreement with Italy was to weaken Germany and at least delay her ef- forts to regain colonies lost in the World War.
"I believe that the British government has come to the conclusion that an arrangement with the United States is impossible because the American people won't allow it," Borah said in discussing recent developments in European ¡capitals.
"As a result she has under-1 gards the Pacific.

Discussing the speech of Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler and the resignation of Edun because of the Cabinet's determination to make deal I with Italy, Borah said that:
