designed as a warning to Germany
and Italy and as an assurance to
Poland, Rumania, and Greece, that

measures.
Prior to his CONSUMPTION an

settlement if they were satisfied
such a discussion would be welcome
and would be likely to have useful
results"
Chamberlain said that "althOugh
the British government had not re-
ceived any specific invitation from
President Roosevelt to participate in
a world conference, we have made
it clear we warmly welcomed his
initiative and would be willing to
participate in any conference"
