EDEN'S OUTLINE OF FOREIGN POLICY

Mediterranean Pacts Can be Dropped

London, July 27,

Speaking in the debate on Foreign Office estimates to-day, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, told the House of Commons that ever since the reoccupation of the Rhineland by German troops, the British Government has striven to start negotiations to restore the situation.

Respecting the brief meeting of the three Locarno signatories, France, Belgium, and Britain, in London, Mr. Eden said this showed the Government's construc- " tive objective had been realised. But he pointed out that this meeting was only a preliminary stage and that much diplomatic work would be necessary before a full, five-power meeting could take place.

The Government regarded, the results of the Montreux Conference, which gave Turkey the right to refortify the Dardanelles, as extremely satisfactory. It had shown, that more could be gained by legal methods in treaty revision than by repudiation.

Mr. Eden stated that Italy in the middle of the present month had ap prenched Yuro-Slavia, Greece a Turkey and assured thes Govern- ments that Italy was not contempla.

"I am therefore glad to declare that in the view of His Majesty's Government lore is no further need for the continuation of the mutual assistance assurances in the Mediter- ramenn," said Mr. Eden.

Reform Of League

With regard to the reform of the League of Nations, Mr. Eden em-) phasised that the Government's ob jective way to widen and strengthen The basis of international collabora de tion, but he declined to make talled statement, which, he said, would only prejudice the September meeting of the League.

He indicated again the Gavern- osent willingness to discuss at an international conference the question of giving foreign countries freer ne eras to raw materials from British mandated territories uni colonies.

Transfer Question

the Turning to the question of fransfer of mandated territories, the Foreign Secretary declared that the question

The Government had not consulti any of these in this matter, but as far as the Government was concerned the question would inevitably raise grave dificulties of a inoral, political and legal nature, to which they had been. unable to find any solution,

The Government hoped, he said, that with so many international ques tions unsolved there would be no de- sire in any quarter to. introduce for- ther enisea for serious differences be- tween nations.
