MR. EDEN’S SPEECH.

WILL PROPOSE THE RAISING OF SANCTIONS.

POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT'S FORECAST.

(Received Tnedtfiy, 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, June 16. The “Morning Post’s” political correspondent says Mr. Eden’s speech in the House of Commons on June 18 announcing the Government’s decision to propose the raising of sanctions will follow closely the lines of Mr. Chamberlain’s speech on ijune.il.' He will point out that sanctions have failed either to prevent or end the Abyssinian war or to preserve the independence of Abyssinia and in view of this, there is no logical or practical justification for maintaining them. There have been no Cabinet differences regarding this. The only hesitancy has been whether Britain should lead at Geneva or leave the initiative to the assembly. -- : . ■? ■

ITALIAN VIEW. MORE POSITIVE GESUURE WANTED. (Received Tuesday, 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, June 16. The ‘tDaiiy Ttfleffiph’s*’ Borne correspondent says semi-official circles are now declaring that (he lifting of sanctions will not be enough to allow Italy to again collaborate in European affairs and are suggesting that a more positive gesture is needed, namely, simultaneous reversal of the League’s aggression verdict.
