ABANDONING SANCTIONS
BRITISH POLICY STATED f: ANGRY SCENES IN THE COMMONS CABINET INDICTED AS COWARDS [ British Official Wireless. ] RUGBY, June IS. Before a House which was crowded in every part for his statement on the Government’s policy at the forthcoming League meeting, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, announced this afternoon in the House of Commons that while it is ready to take part in whatever action might be collectively determined, His Majesty’s Government had decided for its part that there was no utility in continuation of sanctions against Italy. He added an assurance that the Government would devote itself to restoring the League to its full authority. At a later stage in his speech, Mr. Eden referred to the efforts of the successive British Governments to bring about reconciliation between France and Germany, and to the situation created by Germany’s repudiation of her Locarno obligations on March 7 last. He said that the British Government in the present circumstances felt justified in looking for an early reply from Herr Hitler’s Government to the inquiries recently addressed to it.
