He continued that dissatisfaction with the working of non-intervention was not a sumclent reason to denounce the agreement, to do which would bring nearer the risk of European of war. If the principal nations Europe, said he, wished to make the non-intervention agreement effective, control would be quite simple. But

In another speech, Eden said: "It is hard to believe that any important section of the public anywhere can want war, since war must spell universal destruction."
