HAS BEEN WELL PLAYED.
NO SELFISH MOTIVES. WILL STILL STRIVE FOR PEACE. (United Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, May 2. Mf Anthony Eden (Foreign Secretary), after a conference with the Foreign Office officials lasting five hours and forty minutes, begun after the receipt of Sir Stanley Barton’s telegram, travelled to Leamington to attend a dinner given by his constituents. Mr Eden said in the course of his speech: “Many of you, like myself, have your thoughts in Africa. I have only one observation to make in regard to it. We have played our part, not on behalf of any Imperial interests, or selfish motives, hut because, as members of the League of Nations and signatories of the Covenant, we had an obligation which was shared with other members of the League. Whatever the lessons of the last seven months, we must be prepared to profit thereby in the spirit of realism, steadily pursuing the constant purpose of British foreign policy, which is the maintenance of peace.”
