LABOURITE'S VIEWS
THE APPROACH TO ITALY (From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, April 13. Dr. Hugh Dalton, M.P., making his first public speech since his return from Australia and New Zealand, at Bishop Auckland, described Mr. Chamberlain's foreign policy as "supremely unintelligent." He was negotiating with Mussolini, and was going to get him io sign one more piece of paper. Mussolini had signed pieces of paper before, and he had not kept his word. What reason was there to suppose that he would keep any new pledges any more faithfully than he had observed those of the past? Events were not running smoothly for Mussolini. His financial position was not strong, but this was certainly not the time for us to come to his assistance, and any agreement which Mr. Chamberlain might make with him would be carefully watched from that point of view. If financial assistance were given to him there was more than half a chance that the money would be used to build up ' armaments, and it was more than likely that such armaments would be used I against us.
