EUROPEAN PEACE PROBLEMS

Debate In Commons

GENERAL ACCORD REACHED

London, July 27, the The long and Important speech In which he reviewed many different aspects of the foreign situation was made by the Foreign Secretary in opening the Commons debate to-day. Mr. Eden began with an account of the recent London Conte- rence by recalling the efforts of the British" Government

aver

since the German reoccupation of Rhineland to restore confid- ence and to make of the area of difficulty an area of opportun- ity. It has been in that spirit that the Government in March addressed certain questions to the German Government--ques- tions which were neither acrimonious nor Inquisitive, but presented honest endeavour to facilitate progress.

Had they received an early and Constructive reply. It would have! saved much time. It was in the ; same spirit, the agenda of the Three Power meeting in London was conceived. He thought they were entitled to say the outcome of the brief meeting in London would show how completely the constructive objective which they

haddn view was realised. That this result should have been possible was mainly due to the farseeing statesmanship and generous colla- borution shown by the French and Belgian Ministers. The communt que issued at the end of the meet- ing said Mr. Eden "shows we now look definitely to the future and do not confine ourselves to the past."
