London, June 14.
The Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, was asked in the House 9f Commons today by Mr. Arthur Henderson, Labour Member for the Kingswinford Division of Stafford-Shire, whether it was the policy of the Government to consent to the appointment of a French general as the supreme commander of British and French armed forces in the event of war.
In reply, Mr. Chamberlain said that the question of ce-ordination in the command in various theatres in which His Majesty's forces might be called upon to ce-operate with the French in the event of war necessarily formed a part of the conversations between representatives of the two countries.
It would not be, however, in the interest of the public to give information as to the particular aspects of these conversations.—Reuter.
