The British viewpoint is briefly this: that since France does not desire to declare war, she must accept conciliation, with Britain bringing pressure on Germany to give guarantees of non-interference with her neighbours.

The French are keenly disappointed at Mr. Eden's speech in the House of Commons, for it is considered that Britain's declaration of approval of the French appeal to Geneva is vague and the promise of military aid concerns an eventuality which is most unlikely to arise.

The object of British foreign policy is to secure peace for the peoples of the Empire and the nations of the world, and the means to this end are collective security and friendship, declared Mr. Stanley Baldwin, the Prime Minister, when opening the Defence Debate:in the House of Commons this afternoon.
