Eden stated in the House of Commons that there was no question of an agreement granting belligerent rights being reached at to-day’s meeting of tlie Non-Intervention Committee. Tlie Government would continue to press for the withdrawal of foreign' combatants. He was not in a position to make a statement of the Government policy in the event of nonintervention breaking down. Mr Llovd George: As a most serious decision vitally affecting British interests may he taken before the House reassembles on Monday, will Mr Eden make a statement this afternoon? Mr Eden: If T can. hut I doubt whether it will be possible to say any-
thing beyond the committee's official report until Cabinet considers the situation.
