WAR AND PEACE AIMS

U.S.-British Agreement On Principles (Received July 30, 9.15 p.m.) LONDON, July 29. “A large general measure of agreement exists between the two Englishspeaking democracies on the fundamental principles and the main objectives,” said the Deputy-Prime Minister, Mr. Attlee, when asked in the House of Commons if the Government was in complete agreement with recent statements on war and peace aims made on behalf of the United States by prominent American public men. Answering questions regarding international organization after the war, the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, said that tlie Government was entirely in favour of the establishment or reestablishment of an International Court of Justice, and had noted with much interest the references to this subject made by Mr. Cordell Hull In his speech of July 23. As he (Mr Eden) had made plain on previous occasions, it was the view of His Majesty’s Government that international authority after the war would require to be backed by an international force. In this respect, also, they were in entire agreement with Mr. Hull. Asked whether definite steps had been taken now, in conjunction with the United States and perhaps with other countries, to implement these ideas and desires, Mr. Eden replied that these things were being examined and discussed, as would be realized from public speeches being made on both sides of the Atlantic.
