probable results of Chamberlain
announced intention of striking an
immediate bargain with Italy, and
closer future relations between
Great Britain, Italy and Germany
One influential group of officials
indicated that it would constitute
"letting the United States down"
in the general stand which this
government has taken in behalf OF
strict observance of international
law and treaty obligations.
It was said that this would con-
stitute the second time the British
government has "let down" the
United States in time of an interna-
tional crisis. The other was in
1-32 when the then secretary of
State Henry L. StimSon attempted

He challenged the league TO throw

Meanwhile. he declared. it is up
to Britain to seek general appease-

Chamberlain spoke during debate
