BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPY RIGHT Received Julv 27, 11.20 a.m. LONDON, July 26. . -British interest in -a settled Continental situation was emphasised by Mr Austen Chamberlain (Foreign Secretary) in a speech at Birmingham, lie said he was hope-fill of settlement of the question, which would remove the sense of fear of a renewed peril, and which would afford sensib’e .relief throughout the world, it must not be supposed that we had no interest in the relations between our own neighbours in their security, or in the peace of .liurope. Some people objected to our giving any form of guarantee covering the existing Franco-Belgian and German boundaries, but sanctity of those frontiers was the ground work of our own protection. We had it m our power, bv associating ourselves as guarantors of that peaceful settlement, to give a measure of confidence to France, Belgium and Germany, winch they would never find in any instrument to which we were not parties.
