London, June 15.
"A far greater danger to the peace of the world exists in Asia than in Europe, and I am very glad that we, perhaps a little tardily, are taking steps to meet difficulties in cooperation with our French friends in the Far East," Lord Strabolgi, Labour member, asserted in the House of Lords today.
He advocated closer military staff ce-ordination between Britain and her allies and asserted, "what is happening in Asia today reinforces the need for ce-operation with our potential allies."
He voiced happiness over the announcement that Anglo-French conversations were taking place in respect of the Bast Indies, and that French and British military and naval missions would respectively visit Singapore and Indo-China.
Before Lord Strabolgi took the floor, Lord Davies, Liberal, complained that Britain and France were delivering: scrap iron and various metals to the axis powers.
