Mr. Chamberlain Makes Closely Reasoned Statement; Dominion Leaders Approved Opposition Claim Guarantees Inadequate London, Nov. 3.
IHE Government motion for the enforcement of the Agreement between Great Britain and Italy has been carried in the House of Commons by 345 votes to 138.
In tabling the motion, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, spoke for twenty minutes, "during which he said: "In my mind, it is perfectly clear that the Spanish question is no longer a menace to the peace of Europe. Consequently, there is no valid reason why we should not now take a step which, obviously, would contribute to general appeasement,"
He declared that, since the date of the Anglo-Italian Agreement, there had been, he was glad to state, no differences between Italy and Great Britain. It was clear, however, that if the improvement in relations which followed upon the conclusion of the Agreement were io be maint med, the delay in putting it into force, which was already more than six months, could not be indefinitely prolonged.
