wsnsaw, April z-d-reat Brit- ain favors an all-European ‘ l assistance treaty and strict limita- tion of armaments as part of this permanent security plan, accord- ing to the convictions of British Lord Privy Seal Anthony Eden, it was reported tonight after his opening conferences with Polish statesmen.

Firm Stand

Capt. Eden, who surprised tho Polish government leaders by his firm and forthright attitude, saw War Minister Joseph Pllsudski, Foreign Minister Joseph Beck and President Ignace Mosclckl. Pilsud- ski, Poland's dictator. was said to have told Eden in effect: "If Eur- ope must be divided into two camps, our policy must be to join neither of them."

This categorical statement, it was said, decided Eden that the best solution left to Great Britain of the problem, ls an inclusive European mpsct booked by dras- tic disarmament of all nations.

Poland's attitude as revealed in today's talks is that she will not countenance a mutual assistance treaty which would dislodge her from her intermediate position be- tween Germany and the Soviet Union, now shown openly hostile to each other after the visits of British ministers to Berlin and Moscow.

Inclusive Pact

Eden, it was understood, believes that Poland's hostility to the mu- tual assistance clause comes maln- ly from an objection in principle to changing her position as be- tween the Rcich and the Soviet Union and that. therefore, the only path open to keep the peace is an inclusive security agreement calling for disarmament, thus ob-
