+ CONSULTATION ON NEW POLICY PRIME MINISTER GIVES ASSURANCES (BBITISB OFFICIAL WIBELESS.) . . RUGBY. March 3. Mr G. le M. Mander (Liberal, Wolverhampton) asked the Prime MhSster, Mr Chamberlain, in the House of Commons, whether France had been. consulted by Britain and had agreed with the view-that, in the existing conditions, the collectffcv system of the League of fa&ons could not be considered as operative regarding Article XVI of the Covenant. He also asked whether France had been consulted and had agreed to the negotiations between Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, excluding Russia, for a general European settlement. Mr Chamberlain replied: "If Mr Mander will look at the reports of my statements on February 21 and 22 he will find a full expression of my opinion. I do not accept in all respects the interpretation which he places on my remarks. There is no proposal at present, as far as I am aware, of the kind to which he refers. "I need hardly repeat what has been made plain on more than one occasion—that Britain intends, as in the past, to remain in close consultation with France in all matters of common concern to the two Governments."
