BRUSSELS TALKS

British Co-operation With

America (British Official Wireless.) (Received November 2, 7 p.m.) Rugby, November 1. In the closing words of his speech in the House of Commons, Mr. Eden reverted to the conference at Brussels, for which he later left London. He cited one of the Opposition leaders having recently expressed a desire for co-operation with the United States and having asked in effect If Britain could not, "in this dangerous, difficult Far Eastern situation, go as far as the United States—in full accord with them—not rushing in front, but not. being left behind.” “I wholly accept that, definition as our guide.” Mr. Eden declared.

PLEA WELCOMED

Promising Background To Conference (Received November 2, 11.30 p.m.) New York, November 2. 'l'he New York "Times” Washington correspondent says that Mr. Eden’s plea fo r British and American co-opera-tion in the Far Eastern crisis is welcomed ffs a promising background to the Conference. There are no indications that the United States intends taking tlie lead, but Britain’s apparent preparedness for equal co-operation is reassuring. Earlier reactions were most unfavour,‘ilde. The speech was even described as an act of incredible stupidity. Subsequently it was discovered that the news agency reports from London were incorrect.
