MATERIAL ASSISTANCE IN WAR

BRITISH UNITY WITH FRANCE CHAMBERLAIN GIVES AN ASSURANCE ANY THREAT WILL EVOKE IMMEDIATE CO-OPERATION (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright! Received Feb. 7, 6.5 p.m. FEBRUARY, Feb. 6. At question time in the House of Commons, the Prime Minister referred to the solidarity of the interests unitingFrance and Britain and declared that any threat to the vital interests of France must evoke British co-operation with France. He was answering Mr. Arthur Henderson (Labour) on the recent statement by the French Foreign Minister, M. Bonnet, that in the ease of a war in which the two countries were involved all the forces of Great Britain would be at the disposal of France, just as all the forces of France would be at the disposal of Britain, and he said: “This is in complete accordance with the views of Britain.” Mr. Chamberlain then added—and his declaration attracted considerable attention in the House: “It is impossible to examine in detail all hypothetical cases which may arise, but I feel bound to make it plain that the solidarity of the interests by which France and this country are united is such that any threat to the vital interests of France, from whatever quarter it may come, must evoke the immediate co-operation of this country.”
