❖ —- EXPLANATION RY SIR JOHN SIMON (BRITISH Ol'Fli IA! IV|HKI,E:SS ) (Received June 22, 5.5 p.m.) RUGBY, June 21. Sir John Simon (Foreign Secretary), in the House of Commons, said the statement regarding security made by the British delegate, Mrs Corbett Ashby, at the General Commission of the Disarmament Conference, was made on his authority and represented the attitude of the British Government. The statement was as follows: "It will be understood that the United Kingdom, in consenting to contribute a member tp the committee on security, is not contemplating that further agreements in the nature of regional security agreements to be concluded in Europe would be agreements to which the United Kingdom would be a party. The United Kingdom has already become a party to the regional security agreement of Locarno, and understands that the agreements now contemplated for other parts of Europe would be between other parties. On this understanding the United Kingdom is quite willing if desired to contribute.
