London, Feb. 20.
In his letter to Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, stating his intention to resign from the office of Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden said:
"The events of the last few days have made plain the -differences between us on a decision greatly important in itself and far-reaching in its consequences.
"I cannot recommend to Parliament a policy with which I am not in agreement. Apart from this, I have become increasingly conscious, as I know you have also, of the difference in outlook between us in respect to the international problems of the day and also in regard to the method by which we should seek to resolve them.
