PACT "We Will Defend All
DEBATED
IN THE LORDS
LONDON, June 8.
IN THE House of Lords to-day, the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, expressed the hope that a perinanent Anglo-Polish mutual aid pact would be concluded shortly.
Responding to criticism of the delay in the negotiations with Russin, Lord Halifax said Great Britain was unable to thrust assurances of non-aggression on the Baltic States if they are not wanted.
"At the same time it must be recog nised from the viewpoint of her own security that Russia cannot be disinterested in the security of her neighbours," he said. Peace With Germany
He added that he thought the British people "still earnestly desire to reach an agreement with Germany" not only to assist in the settlement of any particular question, but also to place the two countries on a secure footing of mutual confidence.”
