He has dispelled the confusion regarding the precise nature of Britain's commitment to Poland respecting Danzig in such un- equivocal terms that Herr Hitler can have no illusions regarding the outcome of attempts at domination in the territory of any of the nations whose in- tegrity Great Britain has guar- anteed.

The pledge to Poland, and those to Greece and Rumania, were given in a sincere desire to achieve peace. Mr. Cham- berlain reaffirmed that desire in his speech at the Albert Hall. But he also reaffirmed Britain's intention-to-withstand-any-at- tempt to dominate the world by force:

At the same time the hope of the British people remains that the Germans and the Poles will settle their differences amicably. Mr. Chamberlain correctly in- terpreted the mind of the British people in his speech yes- terday. Britons do not want to go to war: they are solely con- cerned that differences between

With this immediate end achieved-achieved insofar as it would indeed by a foolhardy dictator who would attempt to use force in the face of the de- termination shown by Mr. Chamberlain yesterday there is no reason why discussions should not take place between Berlin and Warsaw which might result in settlement.

The reported Japanese plan for mediation is a step in the right direction, although Poland, doubtless, would prefer the good offices of a nation whose services would be leas open to suspicion of bins.

Unfortunately, in the world to-day there seems no Power whose policy is acceptable to both the Democracies and the Totalitarians. The treatment accorded Mr. Roosevelt's offer of mediation Is atill painfully re- membered as evidence of the obstinacy that has gripped the German leaders.
