London, May 22. Britain will not be in a position to take the diplomatic offensive for relieving the present international tension, nor will she enter into any new pact, until her armaments programme is completed.
This decision was taken at yes- terday's meeting of the Imperial Conference, according to well-in- formed quarters in London.
The Foreign Secretary, Mr. An- thony Eden, is reported to have emphasised in his speech to the delegates that completion of Bri- Lain's armamen programme was a prerequisite for successful en deavours in the diplomatic field.
The Premier. Mr. Stanley Bald- win, is also said to have declared that Britain's vacillating foreign polley in the past few years had
been due to her weakness from a military viewpoint.
Solid approval of the British rearmament programme and the statements of Mr. Baldwin and Mr.
Eden was expressed by the Do
minions Premiers.
That the Conference is not pro- gressing without encountering dif- ficulties, is evident from the fact that some differences of opinion have already been experienced in the meetings of the various sub- committees.
