Eden Named British Foreign Secretary Amid Genovae Policy Signals
Anthony Eden, a longtime minister for League of Nations affairs, was appointed foreign secretary succeeding Sir Samuel Hoare. The 38 year old Eden is seen as a proponent of sanctions against Italy over the Ethiopian crisis and as a staunch defender of collective security. His elevation suggests Britain will take a firm line at Geneva and in the Italo Ethiopian dispute as Parliament and public opposition to the Paris peace proposals grows. In Canada, two extra accountants were added to Ontario’s finance staff to assist in collecting succession duties, with $2.5 million already ahead and a further $1 million projected.
