SIR SAMUEL HOARE'S SPEECH IN COMMONS ABYSSINIAN - DISPUTE REVIEWED

LESS UNANIMITY WOULD HAVE ATTENDED HASTY PROCEDURE

London, To-day.

In his speech in the House of Commons on the reassembly of Parliament yesterday after- noon, the Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, reaffirmed the Government's full support for the League of Nations and the principles of its Covenant.

Whilst events had been moving rapidly since he last address- ed the House, and new problems had been thrusting themselves. forward, one thing, he said, had remained unchanged, namely the policy, which was more than the policy of the Government. which, in view of the almost unprecedented demonstrations of public support, he might claim was the policy of the great ma- jority of the men and women in the country. There was also an unbroken solidarity of Empire in support, and particularly im- pressive was the unanimity-of, the Great Dominions.

During the last few months the Government had been try- ing on the one hand to make clear their position, which had been misunderstood by foreigners who failed to realise the sincerity of the British hope and faith in the new order of international relations, and on the other hand to uphold the League in the greatest trial with which it has yet been faced. They must not clamour for miracles, but they might fairly recognise that the League had never before shown, such encouraging vitality.
