BEVIN SAID TO HAVE REBUKED SHIN WELL

LONDON, Sept. 28. The Daily Express says: “Rumours are current in Whitehall that after a telephone call from the Foreign Secretary (Mr Ernest Bevin) in Paris, Mr Attlee called the Secretary for War (Mr Emanuel Shinwell) to Downing Street yesterday and remonstrated with him about the terms of the speech which he made at Salford last Sunday when he criticised those who, he claimed, had received M. Vyshinsky’s recent disarmament proposals with derision.” The newspaper suggests that Mr Bevin complained about Mr Shinwell’s intervention in foreign affairs during a critical period and on the eve of Mr Bevin’s own speech, in which Mr Bevin critically examined M. Vyshinsky’s proposals. “As a result of this incident,” says the Daily Express, “it is possible that all Ministers will- be asked not to refer to the international situation in their week-end speeches.”
