NEW POLITICAL GROUP IN BRITAIN Factionis Dissatisfied with Present Foreign Policy

HOWEVER, IT WILL

NOT TRY

MR.

TO USURP

CHAMBERLAIN

LONDON, Jan. 2. THE founding of a new British political group is im-

minent, it was stated here to-day, the new faction being described as a composite organisation of those politicians who are dissatisfied with the present state of British re-armament, and the principles of British foreign policy.

It is stated that the new group will have the support of numerous members of Parliament, and that a formal inaugural meeting will be held on Wednesday.

The founders do not intend to pursue an anti-Chamberlain course, but plan to bring about a revision of the Cabinet so that it will be organised on a broader basis.

Whether this development | bears any connection with the recently discussed plans of Mr. Anthony Eden to form a "Party | of the Centre" is not known, but many observers believe that Mr. Eden has nothing to do the new group.-Trans-Ocean.
