'Hie Prime Minister, Mr Chamberlain, is making a statement on the international situation in the House of Commons on 18th April. It is expected that he will announce Turkey’s closer association with the alliance against aggression. The diplomatic correspondent of “The Times” says that Mr Chamberlain will 1 probably assure the House of Commons of the satisfactory progress of conversations on the organisation of Eastern European security and the convei • sations with Moscow, which are concerned with the manner whereby English, French and Soviet assistance will be available to threatened states. Turkish diplomacy continues to be active with a view to promoting Balkan unity. 1 The progress of Serbian-Croat conversations is being anxiously watched. In this connection rumours of hostile troop concentrations in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar are not taken too seriously.
