CAPTAIN EDEN'S REPLY

TO CRITICS

London, Nov. 3.

· Britain is still a great Power and has the responsibilities of a great power. If we fear to discharge those responsibilitios we shall in- vite the disaster which will follow.

A policy of isolation to-day is a policy of folly. With the development of air power, England has ceased to be an island. Even if we would go back upon our word we cannot. But of course there is no question of our do- ing so..

As Mr. Baldwin said. recently "What Britain has signed she will adhere to. She adhered to her signature with regard to Belgium. Her signature to the Locarno agreements is sacred.”

In these solemn words, Captain Anthony Eden, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, again made plain the attitude of Great Britain in the event of a European conflict, during a speech at Skipton to- night.

But there was no occasion for scare-mongering. The situation could, without a doubt be redeem jed.

To do so, we must keep Captain Eden.

Washington, Nov. 3. President Roosevelt has authorised the United States Fleet cruise in the Atlantic in 1934.

The Assistant Secretary of the Navy has announced that the ques- tion of the Fleet's move from the Pacific-postponed this year ostén- sibly on the score of economy-is now seriously being consider

The only reason given for the contemplated return of the Heat' to the Atlantie is that "the fleet should be acquainted with both oceans."--Reuter

Here two men were severely beaten by pickets and several shots were fired in incidents between farmers and the authorities.
