Gen. Dawes Predicts
Par|eys Will Bring
Enduring Peace
Defends Munich Pact
And Calls Chamberlain
Fearless Leader
4y the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Gen. Charles
Gates Dawes, who shared the Nobel
Peace Prize with Sir Austen Cham
berlain in 1925, predicted today an
enduring European peace would
emerge from parleys now in progress
among Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Italy.
He based his belief on experiences
drawn from service as Vice Pres
ldent of the United States, Ambassa-
dor to the Court of st. James, pres
ident of the American Commission
on German Reparations, and general
purchasing agent of the A. E. F..
during the World War.
In one of his rare public addresses,
prepared for delivery before the
Chicago Association of Commerce,
Gen. Dawes came to the defense of
both the Munich pact and its father,
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain of Great Britain, whom he
called "a great and fearless leader"
Matter of Self Interest.
European people are now in the
play of tremendous force, the fear
and hatred of war" he said. I'm
the grasp of this force are dictators
and dictatorial governments as we'll
as democratic governments, and if
the result of its operation is not
eventually an enduring peace in
Europe, then the world may despair
Of any civilization hereafter which
will not destroy itself by war
This force of fear, he asserted,
prevented the outbreak of war when
Germany marched to the Rhine,
prevented it when Germany alb
sorbed Austria, and foreStalled it
again during the Czecho-Slovakian
crisis.
II believe - that out of the
negotiations already in progress be-
tween the four great powers of
Britain, France, Germany and Italy
there will finally result an enduring
peace, with the might of the four
powers pledged to protect it, not
simply as a matter of ethics but
as a matter of their individual self
interest,"" he said.
Not Fully SenSed.
''The implications of the existence
Of deep-seated and widespread
horror and hatred of war on the
psft of European peoples do not
seem to be fully sensed.
THE statesmen of Europe should
and do realize that it is only to
the great war that this general
attitude of the peoples of Europe
owes its existence, and that if
Europe, without war and in peace,
is ever to make the difficult terri
torial and racial readjustments nee
esSary to insure continuing peace,
she must do it now.
''Manifestly, If the world has not
learned now the futility of the effort
to settle its major problems by war,
1t will never learn it. But few seem
to sense the great truth that the
best evidence we have yet had that
Europe has learned this lesson is the
Munich agreement"
