BRITAIN'S FOREIGN

POLICY

Divided Opinions Expressed In Parliament

CASTIGATION OF GERMANY'S

BELLICOSE POLICY

London, Nov. 8,

If Germany is going to re-arm, no one can prevent "her. It is time to reconsider the British policy, declared Mr. L. C. M. S. Amery, Britain should stop pestering France and other, coun- tries into Disarmament.

"We should stop meddling in Europe and get the United States to associate with us more closely with the affairs of the Dominions rather than with Europe," he said.

No undertaking was given" to Germany in the Versailles Treaty that the victors would disarm to the level of the van- quished, but the hope is held out that Germany's Disarma- ment will be the first stage of a general limitation of armaments, declared Sir Austen Chamberlain, during the Commons debate in the course of a trenchant castigation of Germany's bellicose spirit.

On the contrary, he saw the philosophy of blood-lust being in culcated into youths. No paralle! into youths, No parallel to this could be found since the days of barbarism,

It was no wonder, therefore that there was alarm in the neighbour ing countries.

"We should stick to the League of Nations in Europe and address Germany collectively. We should also redress some of her grievances before re-armament has reached a stage which will endanger the peace of the world," Mr. Churchill' said.

CAPT. EDEN. PACIFIST. Winding up the debate, the Un- der-Secretary of State for Foreign Anairs, Captain Anthony "Eden, declared that "if Europe had az- cepted the British Disarmament convention in March, "We, would- have reduced conscript service to eight months, and would have virtually abolished all heavy ar- tillery, tanks and military and naval aviation, provided a scheme could be worked out for the con- trol of civil aviation."
