PORTUGAL AND SPAIN
BRITISH SYMPATHY WITH AIMS (Rec. 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY, Jan. 27. Speaking in the House of Commons, the Foreign Secretary, Mr Anthony Eden, said Britain had always been in full sympathy with the desire of Portugal and Spain to prevent the war from spreading to the Iberian Peninsula, and did not regard the British treaty with Portugal to be in any way affected by the recent exchange of views in Lisbon between the Portuguese and Spanish Foreign Ministers, who were concerned to strengthen what was then described as a Peninsula Bloc of mutual friendship and external peace.
“Portugal told us all that happened at those discussions, and we welcome it,” Mr Eden said.
