M. LAVAL IN U.S.A. BRITAIN’S KEEN INTEREST (British Official Wireless.) Rep. 2 p.m. RUGBY, Oct. 22. Britain is taking the keenest interest in lhe LayaT-Hoovor conversations, the extreme importance oi which is fully realised. While recognising that a definite decision, cannot immediately be expected from tlie four days’ discussions, the newspapers here express satisfaction at the assurances from both, Paris and Washington that the exchanges arc to be full and frank, and that no issues will he excluded from them. Consequently, it is assumed that reparations, war debts, disarmament, the implication Of the Paris Pact, and French sentiments regarding security will all bo among the subjects reviewed. Britain’s readiness to co-operate in any measures which may be evolved’ to restore stabilisation to Europe and disperse the prevailing depression is unquestioned. Tlie Times considers that it is of profound importance to the rest of the. world that discussions should bo taken iu principle as early as possible so that some sni;t of calculations may bo made for the future, and a measure of iutcrdational confidence be restored and the normal flow of capital encouraged, without which the world economic life is perishing of inanition.
