VAN ZEELAND HUNTS BROAD TRADE PACT Chamberlain Won't Tell Commons Any Negotiation Details, However. By the Associated Press.

The prime minister tartly refused, however, to disclose any details of negotiations thus far. Van Zeeland, he said, is proceed- ing with inquiries “to endeavor to ascertain how far it is possible to ob- tain agreements on certain general principles of economic policy among a number of states, including the sig- natories of the tripartite currency agreement.” Chamberlain returned an abrupt “no” to Laborite Emanuel Shinwell's question whether Van Zeeland is “the only vehicle of the United Kingdom’s expression.” 5 (The Belgian premier was delegated by France and Great Britain to sound out world ~pinion on a possible inter- national economic agreement that would spur world trade through the parents and five brothers.
