MENACE OF TOTALITARIAN METHODS
SIMILARITY OF SPEECHES MR EDEN AND MR HULL m I’ A Electric IVletsiHi.n ropvrurhtl NEW YORK, 11th December. The similarity between the speech delivered by Mr Eden in New York yesterday and the address by Mr Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, at the opening of the pan-American conference in Lima, Peru (in both of which warnings against the menace of totalitarian methods were given), is referred to by the “New York Times’’ in a leader today. :i will have escaped the attention of no one who read or heard both speeches,” it states, “that Mr Hull and Mr Eden spoke to the same point with essentially the same emphasis.” The New York “Herald-Tribune” comments much along the same lines, j except that it states: “One resemblance, j it must be set down frankly, was the ! lack of detail in both speeches.” The newspaper termed Mr Eden’s speech as a disappointment in this re- j spect. “for Mr Eden plainly felt himself bound by, political obligations to j avoid any application of his expressed I creed to specific events culminating in the Munich Pact.” Most of the other newspapers failed to comment. Mr Eden passed the day sight-seeing, and visited a theatre and cabarets. It is indicated that he will be received at the White House as a member of Parliament.
