STEADY RESISTANCE TO AGGRESSION

London, Feb. 24.

"There can be no weakness nor wavering until peace is signed," declared Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, speaking in the Foreign Affairs debate in the House of Commons to-day, and re-stating Britain's foreign policy and her determination to support sanctions and not to forsake the collective security system,

the

The House of Commons was crowded in anticipation of the address of Mr. Eden and the foreign affairs debate. The Labourite, Mr. Hastings Lees-Smith, former Minister in MacDonald Government, opened the debate, complaining that the Government's attitude towards sanctions was luke-warm. and urging the Government to try to promote an immediate oil embargo against Italy.

Mr. Lees-Smith called upon the Government te helping the aggressor nation by supplying it with cotton, water, animals, et optéra.

Mr. Eden replied. He declared that within ten days of the declaration of war upon Ethiopia, Italy had been branded an aggressor and the League had proposed sanctions against her. He suggested the League of Nations' record was remarkable for its rapidity rather than for its dilatoriness.

H.K. TRADE FAIR LACKS SUPPORT

BUSINESS DOUBTS ITS VALUE

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CIRCULARISES FIRMS

The Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce has cir- cularised local merchant firms as to their views on the project for a British Empire and China Trade Fair, suggested by pri- vate promoters who have received promise of a free site and ". other support from the Government. The Chamber's canvass" has revealed little support for the project. None of the prin- cipal firma of the Colony holding important British agencies has promised its support.

Many firms are doubtful whether a Trade Fair'in the British Colony of Hongkong is an effective means of developing trade in China. If it were, the proper place to hold it would be in China, where all exhibits would be priced in local currency, with duty and all other charges included.

Some firms express the opinion that for certain lines, at a favourable time, a Trade Fair might be desirable, but, speak- ing generally, an equivalent amount of money would be more effectively spent in other ways, it is felt.
