Anthony Eden's View Of International Outlook

Russia Risking An

Ex-Gratia Overwhelming Calamity War Damage

London, May 5.

If the Russians persisted in their present methods-such as in Czechoslovakia and Berlin-they would risk an aver- whelming calamity for themselves and, olas, for the world”, Mr. Anthony Eden, former Conservative Foreign Secretary and deputy Opposition loader, declared today. Mr. Eden, who was opening the second and final day of a foreign affairs debate in the House of Com- mons, urged the holding of a conference of British Empire statesmen soon because of the "essential importance" of the Empire to the dis- -cussions on-Western Union..
