Britain Fights Shy Of “Talking-Shop”
LONDON. Nov. 29 (Recd. 10.30 pm). —“The Times,” considering the Franco-Belgian proposal submitted to the Committee on European Unity for an assembly composed of ParLamentary representatives, says: A deliberative assembly without executive powers to which no Government was responsible would be by definition a talking shop and nothing else. Its members would be bound to include a substantial minority of Communists and it would be a miracle if its German representatives did not use the Assembly to complain against their treatment by other Allied Powers. It is highly doubtful whether debates in such an Assembly would produce anything. Therefore it is not surprising that the British Government should fignt shy of this proposal.
