tatgned on the eve of a mirHarneritnry1
battle In the house of commons, and^
Baldwin*1fr/mkly told parliament thjit
the pence plan was an error. Do
spite fierce attacks by tire La bo rites

given a, vote of confidence. Several
days later he 'announced *fhe appoint*,

When he learned that the, peace plan

Capt.. Anthony Eden, probably never

more reservedly, dcrinrrhg that even
If the plan were rejected, the council
must continue to seek conciliation.
After the session, however, lie admitted
to French newspaper men that the
