§ 84. Mr. Manderasked the Prime Minister the nature of the proposals for the establishment of a four-Power pact between Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy in substitution for the League of Nations contemplated by the Government; and whether this will involve the ending of the Franco-Soviet pact?
§ Mr. ButlerHis Majesty's Government do not contemplate any proposals of the nature suggested by the hon. Member.
§ Mr. ManderIs not this the policy stated in the now famous Driscoll dispatch to the "Montreal Daily Star," which is so well authenticated; and do I understand the hon. Gentleman now to repudiate that policy?
§ Mr. ButlerThe hon. Member had better understand what I said, namely, that His Majesty's Government do not contemplate any proposals of the nature suggested by the hon. Member.
