REBUFF TO ITALY

CHAMBERLAIN DEFENDS ACTION WHICH CAUSED EDEN TO RESIGN POST

Ex-Foreign Secretary Declares Rome's Attitude Cannot Justify Negotiation; Lord Cranborne Talks of "Blackmail".

In the House of Commons last night the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, defended the action of the Cabinet which resulted in the resignation of Mr. Anthony Eden and Lord Cranborne, Secretary and Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs respectively. The Prime Minister explained that the recent Italian approach to Great Britain, through the Ambassador, Count Dino Grandi, had been with a view to commencing at the earliest possible moment conversations between the two countries.

Had Britain refused the Italian offer, returned a rebuff, it might have meant war between the two powers, the Prime Minister declared.

Mr. Eden, explaining his position, declared: In my conviction the attitude of the Italian Government to inter national problems in general and this country particularly, is not such as to justify this course.”.

Lord Cranborne said that to enter into negotiations with Italy at this time could not be regarded as a contribu- tion to peace, but was a surrender to blackmail.

Both Mr. Eden and Lord Cranborne were loudly other cheered when they entered the House.

Track To See First Event

Ideal weather conditions again favoured race-goers at Happy Valley to-day, the third day of the annual carnival of the Hongkong Jockey Club.

Some 4,000 racing enthusiasts were already on the course before the first race, which attracted no fewer than 23 entries. There was an early thrill when Cuban Love, an absolute outsider, ridden by Mr. B. L. Tao, took third place, to pay $87.70-the biggest dividend of the meeting.

His Excellency the Governor, Sir Geoffry Northcote, and party, arrived on the course in time to see the start of the curtain-opener.
