MR SNOWDEN, JUSTIFIED.
“There could he no more complete misapprehension of the position here, states the “.Daily Telegraph,” “than is disclosed by the charge brought against Mr Snowden in the American Press, that he is departing from the principle of continuity in our foreign policy, the last Government having expressed its approval of the Experts' report. So- soon as it transpired, during the private sittings of the Experts’ Committee, that there was a danger of the • British Government being once more called upon to make concessions at the expense of the taxpayers, the attitude of the Conservative Ministry was declared in /quite unmistakable terms. To a question whether it would countenance a reduction of the British share of reparations, Mr Churchill replied in the House of Commons, l ln order to prevent misapprehension abroad and alarm at Home, it is perhaps desirable that I should say that the kind of proposals which have been foreshadowed would, in our opinion, be unacceptable, and that His Majesty’s Government would in no circumstances entertain them.”
