FOREIGN POLICY FRANCO-TURKISH

OF BRITAIN

Lengthy Outline By Mr. Eden

London, Dec. 11. Important aspects of the British foreign policy were underlined by the Foreign Secretary at Bradford this evening in a speech in which he appealed for a comprehensive settlement.

Rejecting the dangerous doctrine which would divide the world into support of dictatorships or right and left, Mr. Eden declared em- phatically Britain would not align ita foreign policy with any group of states, because they supported the one or the other. The British text for co-operation in foreign affairs was not a country'a form of Government but its willingness to keep peace with its neighbours 'andi to observe treaties. Observance and readiness to resort to free ne- gotiation in case of disagreement, constituted together the only true basis of international confidence.

There must be limit to unilateral denunciations. Mr. Eden welcomed M. Delbos declaration that all the forces of France" would be spon- taneously and immediately used for the defence of Britain and Belzlüm in an event of unprovoked aggression and vigorously denied this declaration ** his Own analogous statement at Leaming ton on November 20, either re- presented a new departure or con- cealed

any hidden Intention to form any exclusive alliance.or to promote a policy of blocs.

These assurancea were simply repetitions of undertakings given and received earlier this year in order to deal with the altuation created by Germany's repudiation of Locarno and reoccupation of demilitarised

Zone. Far from seeking exclusive arrangement the British and French Governments desired the co-operation of Ger- many "nut only in a western agreement but European affairs generally.**

NO BARRIERS

"So far from wishing to encircle Germany,

seek we

her Co- operation with other stations in the economic and financial as well as political sphere. We want neither blocs ΠΟΣ barriers in Europe. Nor.

convinced, we are were there freedom of thought, of speech, of trade across frontiera would there be any."

on

The Foreign Secretary recalled how in his Leamington speech he had defended the occasions which British arms would be em- ployed. There were in the world certain vital. British interests and it was contributing to peace that they should be clearly known. He had nothing to add to or subtract from the Leamington definition.

"Ye; I were to say Britain's interests in peace were geographi̟- cally limited it should be giving a false Impression. If our vital in- terests are situated in certain clearly definable areas our in- terest in peace. 1 world-wide and there is a simple reason for this. The world has now become a small-and every day with the march of science it becomes smail- er--a spark in some sphere com- paratively remote from our own interests, may become a conflagra-" tion sweeping the continent or hemisphere.

We must therefore" be, watchful at all times and in all places. We cannot disinterest ourselves from this or that part of the world in the vague hope that happenings in that area will not affect us. We must neither mislead others nor be misled ourselves by any of those comfortable doctrines that we can live secure in Western Europe in a glasshouse. It is for this reason I have again and again insleted that the foreign policy of our country, with its many and com- prehensive interests, must work for a comprehensive settlement. No- thing short of that will give us the peace and confidence w so ardently desire,"

DUCE'S VISIT TO. LONDON

It Bignor Mussolini keeps his promise to go to Hungary next year It will be only his second visit abroad since he came to power.

Els first visit has almost been forgotten. It was to London on December 8, 1922, exactly seven weeks after the March on Rome.

The new Italian Premier came on from the Lausanne Conference to confer with the other Allied statesmen on war debts and re- parations. He made a deep and favourable Impression, from the moment when a guard of honour of 30 London Fascisti "greeted their famous leader," to quote a contemporary account, at Victoria to the moment of his departure,

During his stay he laid a wreath on the Cenotaph and was received by King George at Buckingham Palace.

He continued: That is a change which we wish to see and to which we are prepared to contribute our share, We showed by the part we played in, the recent three power. monetary agreement, the basis upon which we thought progress was possible.

In view of the Government's Public Order B It appears pos- sible that the wearing of the kit by Scottish, Nationalists would be placed in the same category as the wearing of black shirts by Fascists.

"The wearing of the kiit," a Scottish National Party official told a "Bulletin reporter, "could not be entirely banned because it is the national dress of the coun- try.

The question of the kit worn by Scottish Nationalists as D symbol of what the Party stands for, however, is a slightly different matter. But we are not seriously anticipating a ban. The Boot and his kilt are inseperable. and we do not consider it likely that the Government would dare to place
