Lord Cecil, who thought they knew, as yet,' very little of the underlying causes of the disagreement between the Prime head in the latter's resignation, protested in particular against the argu ment used by the supporters of the Government, which implied that the Leakue policy meant an attitude of negation to the just claims of any power, It was utterly untrue, he said, to suggest that the League was against the negotiations, On the contrary, the whole conception of it was that there should be full negotiations wherever there was a difference of opinion, Ho declared that they would never get union oF peace in Europe except, by establishing the supremacy of Jaw based on justice. He thought that there had been a complete change in the altitude of the Government to the League of Nations since Lord Brocket felt that Mr. Eden's resignation would make Italy take fan entirely different view of Great Britain, and he welcomed the change, Lord Teynham and other Lords spoke in favour of a four-Power Pact in Europe.
Lord Strabolgi thought the Government had made a radical and serious change in the British Foreign Policy, which the Opposition must denounce, although they had no desire to see 4 quarrel with Italy pursued.—Wir Tess and Reuter.
