"I Do Not Regret My

Resignation"

VISCOUNT CRANBORNE, former Under-Secretary

at the Foreign Office, who resigned with Mr. Eden, speaking near Burton-on-Trent recently, said Britain. must make it plain that she was not going to be bullied or frightened.

"If the belief once gains currency abroad that we are ready to sacrifice principles to which we attach im- portance to buy temporary relief, the whole structurc of peace will be irreparably shaken," he said.

"That was the danger which Mr. Eden foresaw in February last. That was the main reason why we resigned, and subsequent events have not made me regret that decision.

Mr. Cordell Hull would not have

On the contrary, made his speech unless the Chief

they have confirmed it."

"The idea that we can eliminate causes of friction between us and authoritarian Slates merely by a series of concessions on our side is clearly futile.

"It could only give an impression

sure that it marked a turning point £5 "£5

in the history of the post-war attl- tude of American public opinion.

It could only enournge them to fur- ther demonds.

ONLY WISE COURSE

"I suggest Bant our only wise course is to make it clear, once and for ali,

That though no me in this country is walike, though Indeed wc abhor war, our polley is Kuverneil, and tmust be governed, by certain fundu- mental principles; and, above all, by the principle of good faith in inter- national reiations, and that we can do

nothing which might tend to weaken that principle, which we believe to be essentini for the malutenance of peace and civilsation.

"Any effort to compel us would be to risk conflict so long and so formidable that no one could gain any advantage from it. So, and so alone, I believe can war be avoided."

"Never has [] British Minister performed such ordinary antles before the world. Mr. Chamberlain has flirted with the League of Nations and collective security, and he is now coquetting with Mussolini, having jilted the League and all it stands for.

"He has put the British Empire in the gravest pert and Jeopardised its future. He has sacrificed British

lives and British interests in the vain hope that he can buy pence."

Mr. Ferner Brockway. general secretary of the Independent Labour Party, at Alva, near Stirling:

"The international working class movement should organise a world- wide refusal to make or handle sup- plies to Fascist Spain or to Italy or Germany while they continue to sup- port Fascist Spain, and should challenge their Governments by openly marching behind their best known lenders to the docks and frontiers with supplies for Republi-

U.S.A. "COMING ROUND"

Speaking at the Richard Cobden Memorial, Midhurst, Sussex, last month, Dr. Nicholna Murray Butler, President of Columbia Uni- versity, New York, said American public opinion was coming round to Mr. Cordell Hull's appeal to the United States to lend the world in organising the preservation of peace and the unforcément of law,

MR.

WILLIAM ABERHART, Social Credit Premier of Alberta, who pledged three years ago to give £5 a month dividends to all citizens, shouted angry protests over the telephone from Canada and promised to pay "some time."

When I (Writes a Daily Express reporter) rang him up, he had just received by cable news that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council-the Empire's highest tribunal-sitting in Downing Street, had disallowed three of his Acts which were to make his plan possible.

Canada's Supreme Court decided That the provincial parliament had no power to pass them.

They were also bound to supply, on request, sources of information.

OF "ROBBERY

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU,

former president of the Indian National Congress, received a tremendous OVR- tion when he attended a public meeting at Kingsway Hall to welcome him to England.

The large audlence rose to their feet when he entered, and cheered him for a full minute.

Mr. H. H. Elvin, chairman of the T.U.C. General Council, said they were

working out scheme by which young

Indian leaders from the working classes would be able to come to the T.U.C, and learn all they could of the operation of the great trade unions in Britain.

"ROBBERY"

The story of the relationship of Great Britain and India could be summed up in three words-robbery, Jobbery and snobbery,

Nehru, expressing thanks for his ovation, said that it was a generous gesture to the people at India, but it must be realised that gestures did not go far.

"If your conception of freedom is a limited freedom, then there is something very fadically wrong, he said.

There is great lydignation at the bombing of Barcelona and Canton, but there is no difference between that bombing and the bombing of the North-West Frontier of India.

INDIA'S PROBLEM

"The probleın of India is the problem of the removal of Imperial- Ism. You cannot soive that problem within the fabric of the British or any other Imperialism,"

The people of India, he added. were not going to be parties to the foreign policy of the British Govern- ment.

"We are going to be no party to the result of the foreign policies

Wars and the like."

An overflow meeting, also crowd- ed, wus held in St. Pancras Town Hall.
