“REGARD SITUATION CALMLY"

MR ANTHONY EDEN’S EMPHASIS Non-Interference Stressed By Dominions’ Premiers (.Press Association—Copyright.) A: Received June 2, 10.30 a.m. Lgndon, June 1. The Dominion Prime Ministers held a consultation with Mr Neville Chamberlain, Mr Anthony Eden and other members of the British Cabinet to-day, and were thus able to deal with the Spanish crisis on the spot. The morning's meeting of the Imperial Conference was originally intended to continue the discussion on foreign affairs and deal with the Far East, but the crisis has completely altered the situation. Mr Eden dealt entirely with Spain, explaining the latest situation and outlining the British representations. Each Dominion Prime Minister participated in the discussion. The Australian Associated Press understands that the Dominions’ delegates fully approved of Mr Eden's emphasis of the necessity to regard the situation calmly. The morning’s discussions provided a further opportunity for the Dominions’ representatives to indicate in the plainest words the insistence that England and the Dominions must' at all costs strive not to be embroiled by such incidents, which are not Empire affairs. Nothing has emerged more clearly from the conference than the Dominions' unanimity on the matter, which has been persistently expressed with the greatest forcefulness by every Prime Minister.
