DOMINATION BY NONE

CO-OPERATION WITH ALL DETERMINATION OF FRANCE AND BRITAIN. RELATIONS NEVER CLOSER. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 13. Speaking of French and British relations at a luncheon of the Alliance Francaise in Southampton, where he arrived by air, the French Foreign Minister, M Bonnet, said the co-opera-tion of France and Britain had never been closer. Never before had more lively energies and more determined wills been brought together or with a clearer objective in view. Never had their common policy been more plain. “M Daladier, 1 feel, defined this perfectly when he said that France, with England, refused to submit to any domination while not refusing to cooperate with anyone,” Mr Bonnet, said. He added that while the French people were putting up with a tightening of their national discipline, Britain was exhibiting the same good citizenship and displaying the same courage. She had kept up with the huge effort of rearmament she had undertaken. She had accepted compulsory military service, alien as it was to her temperament and tradition. She had extended her system of security not only to the Rhine, but to the Vistula.
