Copyright)
Received Thursday, Noon. LONDON, Jan. 12. Mr. Anthony Eden, speaking a: Warwick, -described the ffight on which British pilots were shot down over the Sinai Desert. as entirely purposeless and deplorable. He criticised the recent handling of Middie East events as confused and iil-considered. Mr. Eden said he had been anxious for a long' time lest Palestinian events should imperil AngloAmerican friendship and understanding'. "Surely thJe time has now come when a supreme effort must be made to agree on AngloAmerican policy and to carry it out." Mr. Eden asked why the aircraft had been sent to make a reconnaissance and what useful British purpose could the flight be held to serve. "The whole recent handling of events in this quarter of the world has been an unhappy one of confused purpose and ill-considered action. The Government persists obstinately in its own courses despite repeated warnings, both Ifrom the Opposition and even from th& Government side of the House. Admittedly the position has been aggravated by the failure of London and Washington to agree on a common policy. Washington must take its share of the blame for its failure either to declare a policy or take a firm line." •
