BRITAIN AND PEACE
EFFORTS FOR SOLUTION (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON. October 24. In replying to the debate on international affairs in the House of Commons today, the Home Secretary, Sir John Simon, denied that the Government was negotiating with France and Italy behind the back of the League for a settlement, which the League would then be asked to accept, and to which Abyssinia would be told to agree.
The Government’s policy, from the beginning of the dispute, had been to promote, if it could, a settlement which not only would lie within the Covenant but be acceptable to Italy and Abyssinia. > • ••. “We have no intention of wavering in giving effect to our obligations under the Covenant,” said Sir John. The debate was concluded without a vote being taken.
