A marked change in British' opinion towards Germany has has taken place since, Hitler's appointment as Chancellor, the Nazi persecution of the Jews and Germany's opposition to the British Disarmament Plan, and this change was reflected in the tone of the debate on Disarmament initiated yesterday in the Upper House by Lords Cecil and Parmoor.

The juridical result of any breaking-away from the Disarmament Conference by Germany would be that Germany would be bound by the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, declared Lord Hailsham, Minister of War, during his statement to the House.
