New hope for the war-racked people of Europe was offered by Mr. Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secretary, yesterday afternoon, when he spoke of Britain's plans already in the process of completion for economic and social reconstruction immediately after the cessation of hostilities.
The speech was taken by an audience of several hundred London businessmen in the Lord Mayoral residence, Mansion House, in the city, where Mr, Eden spoke us a direct answer to Nazi talk of "a new econo-mie order" for Europe. Mr. Eden sought to show clearly that one of the German plans for Europe's reorganization would merely entail moral and economic serfdom for other nations and that, two, in any case only the Brittsh Empire and the countries of North and South' America would be in a position to supply the food and materials which Europe would urgently need.—Reuter.
