“The recent point-blank refusal of the board of governors and the new generni manager of the CBO to permit the National Conserva-

LONDON, Dec. 2 —(CP Cable)- Brltish parliamentarians roused by the Bevericige plan to guarantee economic security to the crmmon man at home, today heard n de- claration by Anthony Eden of the gcveznmenfs intention to partici- pate ln international efforts to ob- tain post-war security for all inan- kind against aggression,

The llkireign Secretory declared in a speech before tiic House of| Commons that it is the imperative‘ duty of the United Nations after victory to ylltlkfi a definite settle- ment Rlllllkl at p eveiition of fur- ther wars mther than "let some non-Nazi German government be set up and then, so to speak" trust to luck."

Lists Essentials

He listed the essentials of per- msnent peace as "establishment of on international organization fully representative of the powers that mean to maintain eace, unity and determination on t part of these powers to achieve unanimous posit- ive decision, and, most of of, the maintenance by the co-operating powers of the necessary force to curry out their decisbns."

Eden declared that lie (lid not visualize a post-war world in which

"Others. great or snail. provided the are willing to play their part. wii. I trust, be secure in the en- jovment of the independence for which they lmvc fought and suffer- ed so long," he sad. "Our sim," he declared. "must be to ensure that the co-operation achieved among the Allies during the war is continued in tho years of peace and it is not going to be easy be- cause we are going to get an in- evitabie reaction." ’ The Scctetsry said the govern- ment declined io accept the ides that ideological differences make post-war co-opcrafion with Russia impossible, drawing attention to fact that the Anglo-Russian treaty pledges the two powers to 20 years co-operation after the war. Men made his statement during debate an a labor party motion call- a: flog-d pmmpt gog/ernment action

p uce a poo-war program. The motion was withdrawn sfte he outlined the government's in- tentions.

Liberals Give Support
