Mr. Winston Churchill On Colonial Problem

MR. EDEN DENIES BRITISH INTENTION OF MAKING A DEAL

London, To-day. MR. Winston Churchill, referring, during the de- bate on foreign affairs in the House of Com- mons yesterday to the question of restoration of War conquests, said we were not called to express an opinion on this matter until a specific request was formally made to us, but if and when it is made, we should say we are ready to discuss it in a friend-

MR. EDEN'S DENIAL

The Foreign Secretary, replying to Mr. Churchill, categorically deni- ed the suggestion in certain quar- ters that the Government intended to try and make a settlement with Germany in the colonial field on the basis of a deal at the expense of the other colonial Powers.

Mr. Eden added that just as we are not seeking a solution of the colonial problem at the expense of other Powers, so we are not seek ing a solution of European difficul- ties at the expense of other Powers in Europe-Beater.

NOT NEGOTIATIONS The Prime Minister referred to the various recent international conversations. He emphasised that it was never the expectation or in tention of the government that these conversations should produce îm- mediate results. They were con- versations and not negotiations. In their course, no proposals were made, no pledges given, no bar- gains struck. Their object was to establish personal contact and ar- rive at a clear understanding on each side of the policies and out- look of different governments.

As the result of the Halifax visit to Germany he thought he might say that they now had a fairly de finite idea of the problems which in the view of the Government had to be solved if they were to arrive at the condition of Europes that all desired, in wh
