UNITY HAILED.
MISGIVINGS OVER DELAY. LONDON, May 20. The Daily Telegraph, in a leader today, hails the unity of the House of Commons on the question of foreign policy, but points out the misgivings which are evident regarding the delay in concluding the Anglo-ltussian agreement. “Mr Chamberlain added little to his statement of May 11,” adds the Daily Telegraph, “though he admits that the Government has cogent reasons at the present time lor rejecting the Russian proposals. Much, however, can bo said for the agreement, while the delay encourages the Axis Rowers. Therefore it is hoped that Lord Halifax will reach an early agreement as a result, of his talks with M. Daladier and M. Bonnet.” The News Chronicle does not regard Mr Chamberlain’s statement as reassuring, and emphasises the urgency of an agreement between Britain, France and Russia, which may be attainable under the aegis of the League. The Daily Herald declares that the demands of the trades unions for con-
trol of prices, the conscription of wealth, and the completion of the Anglo-Ttussian agreement voice the feelings of fhe vast majority of the British people.
