COLONIAL QUESTION
ATTITUDE OF BRITISH GOVERNMENT LONDON, March 17. The Prime Minister was asked in the House of Commons whether, in view of the Anglo-Italian conversations, it was still the opinion of the Government that the colonial question was not one that could be considered in isolation, as a number of other countries would be involved. Mr. Chamberlain said that he did not anticipate that the Anglo-Italian conversations would be concerned 'with that subject. The Government had not altered its view as expressed in the AngloFrench communique issued in November that the whole question was not one which could be considered in isolation, and, moreover, that it involved other countries. To a supplementary question, whether the German annexation of Austria prejudiced discussions on this question, Mr. Chamberlain replied: “It is obvious that in the present circumstances nothing further can be done in that direction.”
