MR. EDEN POINTS TO DANGEROUS WATERS

ECONOMIC AIMS OUTLINED

T

London, Dec. 14. Important aspects of British foreign policy were underlined by the Foreign Secretary at Bradford this evening, In speech in which he appealed for a comprehensive settlement.

Rejecting the dangerous doctrine which would divide the world into support of dictatorships of the right. and left, Mr. Eden declared emphatic ally that Britain would not align its foreign policy with any group of States because they supported the one or the other. The British text for co-operation in foreign affairs was not a country's form of government, but its willingness to keep peace with its neighbours and to observe treatles. Observance and readiness to resort to free negotiation in case of disagreement constituted together the only true basis of international confidence.

There must be a limit to unilateral denunciations. Mr. Eden welcomed M. Deibos' declaration that all the forces of France would be spontaneously and immediately used for the defence of Britain and Belgium in the event of unprovoked aggression, and vigor- ously denied that this declaration, or his own analogous statement at Leamington on. November 20, either represented a new departure or con- crated any hidden intention to form any exclusive alliance or to promote policy of blocs. These assurances were simply and received carller repetitions of under- takings given this year in order to deal with the situation created by Germany's re pudiation of Locarno and re-occupa- tion of the demilitärised zone.

NO BLOCS OR BARRIERS

Far from seeking an exclusive ar- rangement, the British and French Governments desired the co-opera- tion of Germany not only in a western agreement but in European affairs generally. "So far from wish- ing to encircle Germany, we seek her co-operation with other nations in the economic and financial as well an We ant the political sphere.

want nelther blocs nor barriers in Europe, Nor we are convinced, were there freedom of thought, of speech and of trade across the frontiers, would there be any."

ARMAMENTS FOLLY

If the world were to enjoy an as- surance of lasting peace, there must

be a severing of certain tendencies which now dominated world polifles. Too large a part of the world's wealth was being spent on arma- ments. If the world meant to persist in rearmament, it was persisting in its own impoverishment. It was not wholly convincing to hear complaints of poverty from countries which were spending vast sums on armaments and straining and twisting their na tional economies to that end.
