CONDUCT HINDERED
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
OFFICIAL REGRETS
(Received November 17, 1 p.m.)
LONDON, November 16. Replying to a question by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. C. R. Attlee, in the House of Commons regarding the German denunciation of the waterways provisions of the Versailles Treaty, the Foreign Secretary, -Mr. Anthony Eden, recalled Herr Hitler's statement of May 21, 1935, regarding the remaining articles of the Versailles Treaty, including, it was understood, those relating to waterways that the German Government would only carry out by peaceable understanding such revision as was inevitable in the course of time. Mr. Eden added that Germany's action protracted considerably the sueIcess of negotiations which had been progressing for many years with a view to reconciling German desirata with other Powers.
The British Government therefore regretted that Germany had again abandoned negotiation for unilateral action, not because British trading interests were jeopardised, but because Germany's action would render more difficult the conduct of international relations.
