IMPORTANT SPEECH

London, Oct. 17. ̧-

Sir John Simon and Captain Anthony Eden reached London by air from Paris to-day on their return from Geneva.

When he reached the Foreign Office, Sir John Simon's attention was called to a report of a statement

made last night by Baron von Neurath suggesting that the British Foreign Secretary had not accurately re- presented Germany's viewpoint as conveyed to him October 6th.

Sir John stated: "I should indeed be sorry if there were any difference on a matter of fact with Baron von Neurath. My fellow countrymen may rest assured that the suggested inaccuracy is not on my side."

It was on October 6th that the German Charge D'Affaires in London comTMTM municated to Sir John Germany's "obser- vations" on the disarmament situation.

A similar communication was made at the same time in Rome but not to the French or the United States Govern ents whose representatives had taken part in the earlier conversations.
