PROGRESS POSSIBLE
Result of Sir S. Hoare’s
Speech
RECEPTION ENCOURAGING
(British Official Wireless.)
Rugby, July 13.
The newspapers reproduce foreign comment'on tlie speech by the Foreign Secretary, Sir Samuel Hoare, in last Thursday’s debate in the House of Commons on foreign affairs. The general impression is that the reception has been encouraging.
It is felt that the air has been cleared by the speech and that in the improved atmosphere more rapid progress should be possible. This improvement should favour the prospects of peaceful settlement of the Italo-Abysslnian dlspufe. The “Dijily Telegraph,” referring to the alleged coolness in tlie German welcome and reported comment in Berlin that “England had moved back into the French camp again,” exclaims: “So difficult is it permanently to persuade either France or Germany that Great Britain’s friendships are sincere but not exclusive.” COLLECTIVE .SYSTEM Strong British Support London, July 14. The Secretary-General of the League of Nations, M. Avenol, before leaving for Paris, said that he had found in London a strong determination to support the collective system. The League Council would meet, as arranged, on July 25, unless arbitration was introduced in tlie ItaloAbyssinian dispute.
