The British Government does not under-rate the assurances given by Germany. The Government observed with satisfac- tion that the Government of Czecho- Slovakin was addressing itself io practical steps to meet reasonable wishes of the German minority.
Britain was ready to render any help toward the solution of questions likely to cause difficulty between the German

Sir John Simon's Appeal
Sir John Simon, in winding up the debate for the Government, said that its policy was that, at whatever cost, it must make the country safe by making it strong. They believed this was the best guarantee of peace.
"We are making no threats, but we show, and invite.the country to show, determination, which is all the more impressive because it is the determination of a free people.
"This policy, calls for co-operation from each according to the help he can bring, and we appeal for the goodwill and help of all. In view of the issues at stake, we are confident that that goodwill and help will be forthcoming." (Loud Ministerial Cheers).-Reuter,
