PEACE 0F EUROPE
BRITAIN AND TfiE POWERS SPEECH BY MR CHAMBERLAIN Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 26. (Received July 27, at 9.40 a.m.) The British interest in a settled Continental situation was emphasised by Mr Austen Chamberlain (Foreign Secretary) in a speech at Birmingham. He said ho was hopeful of a situation which would remove tho sense of fear of a renewed peril, and would afford sensible relief throughout the world. “ It must not be supposed,” he said, “ that we hiivo no interest in the relations between our neighbors, in their security, or in the peace of Europe. Some people object to our giving any form of guarantee covering tho existing French, Belgian, and German boundaries; but the sanctity of those frontiers is tho groundwork of our own protection. We have it in onr power, by associating ourselves as guarantors of that peaceful settlement, to give,a measure of confidence to France, Belgium, and _ Germany which they will never find in any instrument to which ive were not parties.”—Reuter.
