Mistake to Use Sanctions Says Chamberlain
Prime Minister Chamberlain told the House of Commons that economic sanctions and force in the Sino Japanese embroglio would be a mistake and that Britain would seek a peaceful solution at the forthcoming nine power conference. He said assurances from Italy about Spain were given in good faith and the government would keep the Mediterranean open while avoiding side taking. Labor opposed adjournment over Spain and the far east, and Eden promised no indifference where British interests are at stake.
