NO COERCION IN PEACE PLANS

BRITISH POLICY

AMPLIFIED

LEAGUE PRINCIPLES NOT DAMAGED

FORMULA MERELY SEEKS BASIS FOR ACCORD

London, Dec. 10. .

The principle that any peace proposals in connection with the Italo-Ethiopian dispute must be acceptable not only to Italy but to Ethiopia and the League of Nations, remains the firm policy of the British Government, declared Mr. Anthony Eden, Minister for League of Nations Affairs, when replying in the House of Commons to-day to the Labourites strong criticism of the reported Paris plan, agreed to by M. Plerre Laval, the French Prime Minister, and Sir Samuel Hoare, the British Foreign Secretary.

Mr. H. B. Lees-Smith, Labour's spokesman, had declared that if only half of what had been reported were correct it was a contradiction of the League Covenant and abandonment of the foundation on which the Government had fought the election.

Mr. Eden, replying, affirmed again the policy of the Government, insisting that it had not changed its attitude or abandoned the principle that a settlement must be acceptable to all parties.

He emphasised that the Paris proposals were only a first stop.in a long and complicated enterprise.

There were three main principles

on which the peace proposals were based, he asserted. The first of these wan that an exchange of territory be arranged which was definitely ad vantageous to both parties to the dis- League's assist

NO SUPPORT GIVEN LONDON MARKET

SUDDEN CESSATION OF BUYING SUPPORT

London, Dec. 10.

Events in to-day's silver market were explained to Reuter by silver circles as resulting from considerable offerings of metal following the attitude adopted by the United States Treasury yesterday, and failure of America to support the market.

After meeting at the usual time, the brokers decided to suspend the session, hoping America would send buying orders for all offerings, as she had done heretofore. On resumption, it was found that the U.S. Treasury, despite repented appeals, was not prepared to absorb offerings, but only to buy a limited amount, estimated at one-soventh of the total, and at a rate lower than yesterday's.

Brokers had no alternative.but to unfix prices, owing to the rule that all offerings must be absorbed before fixing prices, Well-informed outside quarters intimated that the greater. part of the offerings were of forward silver. It is understood that America is willing to buy 2,000,000 ounces of spot silver at 28%, whereas brokers have received selling orders for 5,000,000 ounces.
