NO GOING BACK
♦ MR. EDEN ON EVENTS OF PAST FEW YEARS RUGBY, September 26. Discussing future relationships between Britain and foreign countries, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, pointed to the many lessons which the war had taught, adding that if after the war ended once again we sought to drift back to the good old times, which were not really so very good for many, if we imagined that all controls could be swept aside, or that we could return to the economic anarchy of the old days, and above all if we thought we could have peace and security on the cheap, then certainly we should bring not only discredit but disaster upon ourselves. Mr. Eden indicated that the problem of relief of distress ill Axisoccupied countries after the war had not been forgotten. The work of preparation was going forward, he said, and the United Nations between them must find both the will and the physical means to cope with the immediate problems of distress in areas freed from Axis aggression. As far as the United Kingdom was concerned, he was sure the British people as a whole would willingly submit to considerable sacrifices to relieve distress among their allies on the Continent of Europe.—B.O.W.
