REVIEW OF POLICY IN COMMONS

WHOLE WORLD LISTENS TO NOTABLE DEBATE

London, July 11..

.

While the whole world watched and listened, the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, outlined the policy of the British Government with respect to foreign affairs, during an important debate in the House of Commons to-day.

The whole aim of the British Government was to preserve the peace of the world. To this end they had driven a bargain with Germany respecting the limits of Germany's naval power, and had thus benefited France and every other naval nation, he said.

Sir Samuel warmly reaffirmed Britain's close friendship for France, Italy, United States, China,

Japan and Russia, adding that relations with the Soviet League's

had never better since the formation of the last re- volutionary Government. Britain's actions in respect to the Italo-Abyssinian dispute, he pointed out, were entirely disinterested. The rumour that Britain in- tended to approach France in order to press for a blockade of Italy in the event of a war in Africa, he declared to be without foundation.

Italy's martial might will be paraded shortly by order of the Fascist Dictator, Signor Benito Mussolini, in order to show the world that the strength of Rome's legions has in no way been weakened by the prepara- tions for a campaign in Africa. Half a million men will join in a great mock mobilisation next month.

Meanwhile, M. Avenol, Secretary-General of the League of Nations, has put forward a plan by which he hopes that the Italo-Abyssinian controversy may be settled peacefully. He proposes that France should summon a conference of three powers, France, Italy and Britain, which would aim at preventing a clash in North-East Africa.

Signor Mussolini is reported to be sceptical of the value of conferences and officials in Rome have received M. Avenol's proposals coolly.
