SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE
MAINTENANCE OF PEACE MR CHAMBERLAIN CONFIDENT AGREEMENT WITH TURKEY (Unitesl Press Assn. —E/ec. Tel. Copyrifhl) LONDON, April 6 It is expected that the British .Ambassador at Ankara and the British Ministers at Athens, Belgrade, Bucharest, Sofia and Budapest will all have arrived in London by Monday, when consultations with experts at the Foreign Office, the Ministry of Economic Warfare and the Board of Trade will begin. The Prime Minister, Mr Chamberlain, explained the object of these consultations in the House of Commons last Tuesday. He said: “We have heard recently of possible developments in South-Eastern Europe. It has even been suggested by German propaganda that it is our aim to disturb the peace of the Balkans. This, of course, is not true, and we are confident that our agreements with Turkey have, on the contrary, contributed most effectively to maintaining peace and security in South--Eastern Europe.” Mr Chamberlain expressed his conviction that this initiative would have fruitful results both for the Allied cause and for the maintenance of peace and security in that area.
