BALDWIN FOREGOES. FRENCH HOLIDAY
TAKING NO CHANCES
London, July 27.
an-
Following the King's cancellation of his holiday in France, It was nounced to-day that Mr. Stanley had Baldwin, the Prime Minister. abandoned his plan to go to Aix-les- Bnities on Thursday for a short vacation. He will remain in England. Th coincidence in Ifis Majesty's and the Prime Minister's change of Anthony plans, together with Mr.
the
Eden's emphasis in the complexity of international situation, led to speculation in Parliamentary circlea 19-tlay.
There is general disposition to ennnect the change in Mr. Baldwin's plans with the serious tone of Mr. Eden's speech in the Foreign Affairs debate in the House of Commons, and particularly his statement that he und not exhausted the preoccupations of the Government when he had spoken of the Rhineland, the Dardanelies, the Miditerranean and ther serious problems.
It is generally felt that no risks will be taken in any direction during the next few months.-Reuter.
CONSIDERATION FOR FRANCE
London, July 7.
It was announced from Buckingham Palace today that the King has can- celled his arrangements for a holidny on the French Riviera. Ia the nb- genre of an official statement the newspapers agree in aserbing His Majesty's decision to consideration for the French authorities at a time when their normal responsibilities are much increased by the provision for rofagrops from the civil conflict across the border in Spain.
