LORD HALIFAX REPLIES

Lord Halifax replied to the debate for the Government., He sald on January 10, Count Grandi conveyed to His Majesty's Government the ernest desire of the Italian Govern- ment to inaugurate the conversations suggested in July 1037, The whole Government, including Mr.

Eden, was agreed that conversations with Italy were desirable. In the course of exploratory conversations, the Foreign Secretary made plain that conditions in Spain and propaganda were grave obstacles to the possibility of agreement. It was upon that bosia Mr. Eden saw the Italian Ambassador again with the Prime Minister on Friday morning last, and it was only after that interview that sharp difference view between the Prime. Minister and Mr. Eden manifested itself. Shortly put, what the Prime Minister thought should be vital con- ditions of agreement that would Issue from the conversations, Mr. Eden thought should be conditions precedent to the inauguration of the conversations themselves. Upon this Immediate Issue Mr. Eden resigned.

"Once a

a policy of conversations had been accepted, as it had been by Mr. Eden, and once acceptance of such a policy was made known to the other party, as it had been made known by Mr. Eden, and provided that what are vital questions to Bri- tain, such as Spain were clearly

pro- nounced at the outsof, as indeed they had been, then I am bound to say that the other questions arising, which Mr. Eden had declared to be an Immediate issue between himself and Prime Minister neem to me now, as they have seemed to me throughout, secondary to the agreement which existed on the larger questions of broad policy, which is expressed by the willingness that conversations should take place."

It is a fact that in July last no conditions were attached to the open- ing of conversations. Subsequently the lato Foreign Secretary desired to introduce conditions which were per- fectly reasonable. "He was amazed to hear some persons, who had held responsible positions, cuggest that progress could have been made it, at, the beginning, we insisted upon the acceptance of a period of probation- ary discipline. He did not. The Prime Minister also rightly thought that bgreement could not be achieved by those means. But the Prime Minis- ter also believed that if an agreement was reached, these conditions which have been referred to, would in fact follow, and that no agreement could be reached unless that were so."
