Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain announced this unexpected sequel to Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's resignation almost at the close of a speech in which he had a running fight with the Opposition, interruptions and outbursts of jeering and laughing featuring the proceedings. Chamberlain declared that for Great Britain to rebuff Italy's desires for such conversations would bring relations to a point where "ultimately war between us might become inevitable. The Prime Minister accused Eden of being "unfair" in implying that he (Chamberlain) succumbed to Italian "now or never" threats. "What we arc seeking to do is to get general appeasement throughout Europe which will give us peace," Chamberlain said. "Peace of Europe must depend on the attitude of four major powers Germany, Italy, France and ourselves. Chamberlain had conferred with Count Dino Grandi, Italian ambassador, before facing Parliament. EDEN'S DRAMATIC SPEECH Captain Anthony Eden, who preceded the Prime Minister in addressing the tense House, spoke with his right fist dramatically clenched. His voice broke when he declared that settlement of the Spanish issue was parapiount to any Italian settlement. Eden declared that he had resigned rather than deal with Italy in the face of Mussolini's propaganda against Great 'Britain, which was "rife throughout the world " and II Duce's "glorification" of Italian victories in Spain." "Agreements that are worth while are never made on the basis of threats," the former Foreign Secretary declared. Eden was cheared repeatedly by the Labor benches and some sections of the government majority. "I do not believe we can make progress in European appeasement if we allow the impression to gain currency abroad that we yield to constant pressure," the young statesman said.
