WARSAW. April 3.-Great Britain
and Poland today agreed to the de-
STABILITY of maintaining close con-
tact" on the European situation. with
authoritative quarters indicating a
pan-European security system as a
likely result.
The agreement was reached with
Polish statesmen by Capt. Anthony
Eden. British lord privy seal. as he
concluded two days of conversations
concerned with the general peace of
Europe and prepared to depart for
Praha and more conferences.
Communique Issued.
The following communique was
issued:
During his stay in Warsaw, Capt,
Anthony Eden. British lord prlvy
seal. was received by the President of
the Polish republic and by Marshal
Pilsudski. Capt. Eden had, in addi-
ton. several conversations with NJ.
Joseph Beck. minister of foreign
affairs.
He gave NJ. Beck an account of
the recent exchanges of views which
the British ministers have had in
Berlin and Moscow upon the basis
of the London communique Of
March 2.
During the conversations, which
were cordial in tone. Beck gave Eden
the views of the Polish government
upon matters set forth in this COM
munique and upon present interna-
tional situations in general.
Purpose Is Fulfilled.
at was agreed that these exchanges
of views. which were exploratory in
character. had well fulfilled their
purpose. The desirability of main
tanning close contact in regard to
future developments in the European
situation was emphasized"
From sources considered reliable it
was learned that Capt. Eden was
welcome arrangements definitely ad-
vancing European peace. Some OBJ
servers believed this meant discard
ing the Eastern pact. at least in
name, but improving its mutual as
sistance aspects to fit the individual
national needs.
In London a government SpokeS-
man said a preliminary examination
OF British diplomatic conversations in
Berlin, Moscow and Warsaw con-
Vinced the government a security plan
with enforceable provisions against ag-
eressors must be constructed during
the conference at StreSa.
Capt. Eden talked for 10 hours yes
terday to Polish leaders and, prior
to his departure today, visited the
foreign Office, where he talked to
Beck, and the British embassy. Both
Poles and British expressed pleasure
ut the talks.
The likelihood of a pan-European
security arrangement was generally
regarded as the most important pos
sible result of the Warsaw confer
ences.
More Acceptable to Reich.
Such a broad peace system would
be more acceptable to Germany and
Poland, these quarters pointed out.
and would be more flexible than the
proposed Eastern security pact.
The British diplomat started early
today to make his final calls
on Polish statesmen before leaving
tonight for Praha, the last capital
on his long itinerary.
Informed quarters saw in recent
developments indications of Poland's
Withdrawal from the sphere of Ger
man influence and a revival of close
relations with France. This tendency
was emphasized by an announcement
by the foreign office that Pierre La
val, French foreign minister would
be invited to visit Warsaw when he
journeys to Moscow late this month.
