MPs' Opposition

London, July 5.

Britain has abandoned plans to give Cyprus self-determination in 10-15 years because of fierce Turkish opposition to the plan, informed sources said here tonight. Sir Anthony Eden's Conservative government is expected to announce the switch in plans within a few days.

The sudden shift is due both to violent Turkish reaction to feelers put out by Britain and to the storm of opposition raised among a large minority of Empire-minded Conservatives in Parliament.

Turkey bluntly warned Britain it would never accept any move which handed over the strategic Mediterranean island to Greece. Cyprus is but 40 miles from the Turkish coast and 20 per cent of its population are Turkish in origin.

Moscow, July 5. Soviet Foreign Minister, Dimitri Shepilov, stated today that he thought there now existed a broad basis for a rapprochement between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Shopilov added that he hoped to meet American leaders when he goes to the United States in the autumn to attend the United Nations General Assembly.
