Your correspondent seenlsltb be labbur- Ing under>a delusion on this subject. In order to njuke' "natters i a little clearer It is essential at the outset to state that the ‘Big Four’ viz. : Great -Britain, France, : Gfermany and Italy, were represented; at'|this conference by Chamberlain, Dala- dler.

was the dirty game, the,dastardly: plot, the wretched 1 Intrigue that' was being played at Munich'? - It was - nothing more nor lesb; than- a further effort to establish what the French-called ‘the cordon sanltalre’ -against Bolshevism.' The result was'that Hitler took a very-clever advantage of the situation in order to avoid a war on two fronts, -ivlth the further' result that when- he, attacked France his ‘back dbor’jwas secure. The implications, and Con­ sequences of the Munich Cofifer- ence were far-rqachlng and; disas­ trous, and “Vigilant’.’: hopes and ex­ pects that the people of this coun­ try will very shortly smash the poli­ tical-careers of everyone associated with' the wretched p o l i c y j .o f appeasement.
