Received Thursday, 11.30 a.m. LONDON, October 23. Resuming the Foreign Affairs debate in the House of Gommons, Mr.- Attlee said the haunting fear of another war must be removed tVom the peoples throughout the world, but if peace was to be established much attention would have to hft gi-^en to econornic as well as to political problems. _ He w\-i certain, despite the disadvantages of the publieity given to the Paris Conference debates, that it had had an educative effect, and the positive gains must be accepted against the negations whieh sometimes seemed a feature of such a gathering. Progress had been made to develop polieies for world needs.

Dealing with the Security Council veto, Mr. Attlee said this had been conceived only as something to be used as a last resort, not as a device to be used constantly whenever a particular power did not agree fully with the others, as happened recently. He also regreiued the use of the Security Council as a prupaganda inscrument. The British Government desired that the use of the veto shouid be restraintd to its origmal purpose, and that the council return to and fuhil its origmal intention.

[ Mr. Attlee said that states with ; diverse characters must be pre- | pared to tolerate each other, and i work together for the achievement j of peace. Britain was deeply separated ! from Rus.sia 011 the value of in- ■ dividual party freedom of speech , and British conception of dej mocracy, Mr. Attlee continued. ; "Nevertheless, it is not only possible ! but essential for us to work together in order to prevent the 1 calamity of another war, and despite the difficulties the Governjinent is determined to do so."
