When neighboura live together in a peaceable and friendly manner and it is found that one of them is contemplating an aggressive act of force against the other and is making open pre- parations for action, it is not a menace for others to announce their intention of alding the threatened one."

Referring to the raising of the Bank Rate to per cent.. Mr. Chamberlain said that this was a de- normal protective measure signed to defend the resources of the country in a period of uncer- tainty. The public could best co- operate in this by reducing as far commitments all possible

Referring to the message hand- ed to Herr Hitler by Sir Nevile Henderson yesterday, the Prime Minister sald: "I made it plain, as had been done in the communique Issued earlier, that if cause should arise, the British Government would be prepared to employ with out delay all the force at their command" (Cheers).
further Bir Nevile Henderson conveyed the message that there was nothing in the British view on German-Polish questions that could not or should not be re- solved without the use of force if only a situation of confidence could be restored, “
Mr. Chamberlain, in his mes- view to sage, also expressed the Herr Hitler that if there was a truce to all the incitement that
had been going on, suitable con- ditions might be established for direct negotiations between Ger- many and Poland.
Herr Hitler's reply included what amounted to a re-statement of the German thesis that Eastern which Europe was a sphere in Germany should have a free hand. and that if we or any other coun- try having a less direct interest chose to interfere, the blame for be the ensuing confict would
ours.
This thesis, asserted Mr.. Chamberlain, entirely mis- apprehended the British post-
tion.
"We do not seek or claim any special position in Eastern Europe Or ask for the sacrifice of national interests, but we cannot agree that national interests can only be secured by bloodshed or the des truction of other States," said Mr. Chamberlain

"No Way Out Of Present Crisis," Roosevelt Told
:
PRESIDENT WILL MAKE NO APPEAL TO HITLER: STATEMENT MAY BE MADE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (Reuter) - While official quarters, according to the Associated Press, do not be- lieve that President Roosevelt will make another direct appeal to Herr Hitler for peace, some State Depart- ment advisers are advocating an appeal by the Pre- sident to Signor Mussolint urging I Duce to use his. influence with the Fuehrer to prevent war.
Danzig Talks
It is believed in some quar- ters that an official statement will be issued in Washington reiterating the desire of the
Broken Off United States for peace.
BERLIN, ALT: 24 (enter)
It is stated here that nego- the Polish tiations between
and Danzig commissions on the question of customs officers have been broken off by the departure to Warsaw of the Polish delegates.
It is reliably reported that the tenor of the information prepared for the President when he returns to Washington at mid-day is that there is no way out of the pre- sent crisis."
