FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEBATE
HOUSE OF COMMONS TODAY. EMPIRE’S VITAL INTEREST. (Received 9 a.m.) LONDON, May 1. “The Times” says ■ it hopes the Foreign Affairs debate in the House of Commons on Thursday will produce a statement of the extent of Britain’s commitments. It says the Prime Ministers of the Dominions must be especially anxious to know to what Britain is engaged or is likely to become engaged in complications on the Continent. “The Dominions are not bound by the terms of the Locarno treaty,” adds the paper, “but in a general way may be regarded as supporting its peacepreserving purpose. If, however, Britain were to incur obligations further afield on the Continent, it would be certainly at the risk of causing a split in Imperial sentiment.”
