      up for the Government at conclusion of Second day's debate on

         The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs         
 
      (Mr. Eden): Much of this debate has concerned itself with the 
      affairs of southeastern Europe and the Honorable Gentleman who 
      has just spoken has concentrated almost exclusively on that sphere. 
      Therefore, I propose to devote the greater part of what I have 
      to say also to these same topics. Before I Come to southeastern 
      Europe there are one or two other matters raised in the debate 
                    to which I want to refer.               
 
                                                            
 
 
In particular I want to say something about two Allied countries 
      of ours that are suffering at the present time perhaps more than 
      they have done at any time in this
