Assheton took the chair, dnd the meeting gave an enthusiastic welcome to Sir Wllllanl Brass, M.P. for the Division, who; at the outset of; his address; ertUmerated the incident which led up to the recent international crisis, and described vividly the scenes at Westminster ,when, intimating that a request had come, to meet Herr Hitler at Munich, the. Prime Minister told the House that there was no need to ask what his answer would; be. So intense was the feellng.that there Were tears In the eyes of members; there was still a chance to preserve the peace of the, world, and everyone, regardless of party, leapt into their seats and shotited success and bon voyage to the Prime Minister/'


At a meeting IwMch followed tea, Mrs.


“Had Mr. Chamberlain not gone to Munich, I have no hesitatlonfn saying that we should not be met here'so agreeably as we are today; we should have been at war,"


Sir William asserted, addliig; " We ought to be supremely fateful; to the Prime Minister who, at seventy; years of;age;, imade flights to Germany Intent On prei. serving world'peace. Had it not been for his energy and determination,; a Europeaji war would have been inevit­ able." ' .

In face of all that Mr, Chamberlainjhad

members of tfie art of canvassing, and of meeting arguments of,those “ agln;the Government,’’ proved most Instructive and interesting. Thanks were warmly accorded, to Mrs;

Drew (toriiohstone), said that 'anyone associate^ with the cotton' trade would be glad f t heft him in anything he did not undprstand on toe more technical side of trie business. The Enabling Bill that wa.^' being drafted represented an effort to! bring all sections of the trade— employed and employees—together in order that they could speak With one voice tb fte Governmerit.
