THE SANCJ JO.VS FAILURE
Received June IS, 12.25 p.m. LONDON, June 17.
The Daily Mail’s political correspondent says that Mr ]<. A. Eden, before Cabinet, told Mr Baldwin that he did not intend to resign. Mr Eden read to Cabinet the statement he is making to-morrow, which is on the lines of Mr Neville Chamberlain’s speech on June 10. He admits the failure of sanctions to end war and for that reason says there is no wisdom in continuing them. Cabinet made several alterations to the manuscript.
