But Chamberlain replied:
"I have nothing to be ashamed
of. Those who have may hang
their heads."
He praised President Roose
velt and the contributions of
Daladler, Mussolini and Hitler
in saying:
Of Roosevelt "The message
of President Roosevelt so fairly
and yet so persuasively made
showed how the voice of the
most powerful nation in the

Of Daladier "His courage.
his readiness to take responsibil

varying and Invaluable." .- - i
Of" Mussolini "Hia contribu
tion . to the Munich agreement
"was perhaps decisive. "It was
on - his suggestion that mobiliza
tion in Germany was postponed
for 24 hours to give an oppor
tunity of discussion and during
the conference he and Count
Ciano, his foreign secretary, were
most helpful."
Of Hitler "Hard things have
been said about the German
chancellor today and in the past
but I do feel that the house
ought to recognize that In; con
senting, even though it were enly
at the last minute, to discuss
with the representatives of other
powers those things which he
had declared he had already de
cided once and for all, was a
real contribution on his part."

ask parliament f o r temporary

powers has been the traditional
way .for French governments to
face financial , difficulties. .

meet tomorrow morning ; both to
approve the report on the Czecho

will make to parliament in extra
ordinary session in the afternoon,
and to consider measures to re
lieve the financial strain caused

routine. . j
Request for such powers from
parliament would depend on whe
ther the rest of the cabinet ap

come before the chamber it would
cause bitter debate an& possibly
