FOREIGN POLICY
PRIME MINISTER’S METHODS. The British Prime Minister’s methods of appeasement in foreign policy are still on trial, says the “Spectator.” The criticisms with which Opposition speakers in the Commons debate riddled the Anglo-Italian agreement may prove to be deserved. That only time can show. But meanwhile it is due to Mr Chamberlain —and those who, like the “Spectator,” backed Mr Eden’s thesis against his, must acknowledge it frankly—to recognise that his methods have so far achieved considerable success. There is nothing obstruse or complicated about them. Their chief merit, indeed, is their complete simplicity. They consist of strengthening friendships with existing friends and so far as may be making new friends out of potential enemies. The agreements with France are an example of the first method; the agreements with Italy a first step toward the full application of the second. There are other spheres into which that application may yet be carried.
