SUPPORT FOR THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ASSURANCES IN HOUSE OF COMMONS. ONLY REAL PEACE WANTED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, October 26. In the House of Commons, Mr C. R. Attlee (Leader of the Opposition) endorsed Mr Chamberlain’s tributes to the Home Defence units and expressed pleasure at the results of the campaign against the U-boats. Referring to Herr von Ribbentrop, he said: “It does not seem worth while to follow up statements of that kind. Threats, will not deter us from our duty. We stand ready for peace, but it must be real peace.” Sir A. Sinclair (Liberal Leader) supported Mr Chamberlain and urged the Government not to allow relations with Russia to stagnate in the present unsatisfactory and even dangerous position. He added that it would be a grave dereliction of duty if the Government left the Russian field open to the Germans. They should, by vigorous initiative in the commercial and diplomatic fields, convince the Soviet Government that the interests of mankind would be best served by British,. French and Russian understanding and collaboration.
