With Europe; Another Meetitig Held London, June 21.
Asked in the House of Commons today if the Government would consider the advisability of extending the terms of the contemplated antiaggression pact between Britain, France and the Soviet to cover the Far East, in view of the advantages this would bring and the interests of all three countries, Mr. R, A. Butler, the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, replied: "No."
The negotiations at present being conducted, he declared, were concerned only with the European situa-lion. As far as he was aware, the question of the extension of the scope of the pact had not been discussed or proposed by the Soviet.
It was not proposed, he added, that a memibet of the Cabinet should go to Moscow in connection with the negotiation of an anti-aggression pact between Britain, France and the Soviet—Reuter.
