PRIME MINISTER'S CONCESSION

INSULARITY OF FUEHRER MADE
BRITON'S VISIT NECESSARY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. Neville
Chamberlain's visits to Hitler were
the first great surprises of the Euro
pean crisis, yet the prime minister of
England's sudden Impulse to con
verse with the dictator of the relch
had Its precedent in Chamberlain's
own story.
Oddly enough, the precedent Is one
which shows how new Chamberlain
Is at bis Job, Some time ago, when
he was still chancellor of the excheq
uer, Camberlaln got the rather naive
notion that, if a representative of
the English government could only
talk to Hitler as a friend, all Europe's
troubles might be straightened out.
The then British embassador at Ber
lin had not access to the fuehrer,
and Chamberlain pressed his point
until the Berlin post was given to
Sir Neville Henderson.
Henderson's orders were quite spe
cific "get to know the fuehrer." Un
fortunately, not even his Britannic
majesty's ambassador could penetrate
the oriental seclusion in which Hit
ler lives, surrounded by armed guards
and nervous sycophants. Henderson
was no more successful than his
predecessor.
No doubt, however, Chamberlain's
old notion came back to him with
renewed force during the great crisis.
In the crisis' first stages, the Eng
lish government not only had io
friends at Hitler's court; It was even
found to be Impossible to transmit
messages to the fuehrer. Von Rlbben
trop, the vain and frivolous cham
pagne salesman whom Hitler keeps
as his ambassador In London, was
personally convinced that England
would not fight, and refused to per
mit any contradictory ' prediction,
even from the British cabinet, to
reach his master.
Moreover, Hitler had sent his con
fidential agent. Captain Wlebeman.

dent Roosevelt to last week's nego
tiations which averted a European
war,
"The voice of the most pow
erful nation In the world" spoke
across the sea to sway Europe's
statesmen to ways of neace, de
clared Chamberlain In his de
fense In a tense house of com
mons of the Munich four-power
accord for the dismemberment of
Chechoslovakia.
The prime minister angrily tossed
back cries of "shame I" at his critics
and announced an Immediate 50;
000,000 loan for Czechoslovakia.
Prayers Answered
"The prayers of millions were ans
wered" by the Munich pact, Cham
berlain declared.
The prime minister replied to a
bitter denunciation of his bargain
with the dictators by Alfred Duff-
Cooper, who quit Saturday as first
lord of the admiralty and who broke
Into bitter sobbing when he de
clared the Munich terms "stuck in
my throat."
Chamberlain paid tributes to Presi
dent Roosevelt and to his fellow sig
natories of the Munich agreement,
Reichsfuehrer Hitler and Premiers
Mussolini and Daladier.
The messages of President Roose
velt, so- fairly and yet so persua
sively made, showed how the voice
of the most powerful nation In the
world could make Itself heard across
3000 miles of ocean and sway the
minds of men in Europe," ald the
prime minister.
No Regrets
Chamberlain told the house "I
have nothing to withdraw or re
gret." concerning the four-power ac
cord of Munich for the dismember
ment of Czechoslovakia.
The 10.000.000-pound .50.000.0001
loan for Czechoslovakia announced
by Chamberlain Is & third of the
amount asked by Prague, he dis
closed. The granting of an addi
tional 20.000,000 pounds $100,000,-
000 in credits will be considered later
he said.
The prime minister went at length
into an effort to show Hltlpr had
made concessions at Munich from
his previous demands. He gave Mus
solini credit for getting the mobili
zation of the German army post
poned, pending the Munich negotia
tions. Mussolini to Fore

"But, Chamberlain said, "the strong
est forre of all was that sense of
the unmistakable unanimity among
the peoples of the world that war
snmrhow must he averted."
Chamberlain promised a cheerlre
house to build on the foundations hp
had alreadv laid toward a towerinc
structure of peace for Europe and
the world.
He declared he could see chances

their labor objective one big

that very thing for Its objective."
