Sir Austen Chamberlain, in reply to the London correspondent of the Paris Figaro last night, said: “I remain convinced that intimate and continuous collaboration between Great Britain and France at Geneva can still prevent war.

If Britain refuses to increase her commitments she remains faithful to those she has already undertaken.
