EUROPE WATCHES

GERMANY'S DETACHED

INTEREST

"RAPPROCHEMENT STILL MORE REMOTE"

LONDON, June 18,

Not since the debate leading to the resignation of Sir Samuel Hoare as Foreign Secretary has Westminster beerv the centre of such European attention. It is generally considered abroad that the House of Commons' decisions this afternoon will decide the course of the European policy.

The "Morning Post's" diplomatic correspondent understands that the principal cause of Cabinet's decision is th? increasing truculence of Germany. It is understood that Sir Robert Vansi Hart, Permanent Under-Secretary oX State for Foreign Affairs, has been informed by the French Ambassador that the possibility of a rapprochement with Germany is more remote than ever.

Tho Berlin correspondent of "The Times" says Germany is watching Westminster with cynical detachment. There is little chance that Nazi foreign policy will fulfil British hopes. It .seems to be tending more in the direction of expansion at the expense of the States ox' Eastern Europe.
