Colonial Pool Suggestion

Newcastle-On-Tyne, Mar. 6.

A. colonial pool under international control would be the best means of solving the present colonial problem, Mr. Herbert Morrison, Labour M.P. indicated in a speech on behalf of the Labour Party Peace and Security Campaign here to-day.

"One should make it abundantly clear to the people no less than to the Government of Fascist countries, that every advantage in security and economic well-being through international ce-operation is open as much as it is to us," he Also, that on the basis of a genuine peace settlement, we are open to discuss and agree to economic settlements provided that other countries do the same and agree to hand over all appropriate colonial territory to an international administration in which all countries shall be eligible to take a share, provided that the rights and interests of the native population are properly protected."—Havas.
