RUGBY, September 23,
The 800 visiting German ex-service-men were welcomed at Westminster Hall by the Minister for the Coordination of Defence, Sir Thomas Inskip. Sir Thomas, referring to the Godesberg talks, said that whatever the rights or wrongs of the questions being examined, everyone had but one hope—that this momentous conference would result in a just and peace■ful settlement. To waste more precious treasure in a new war of greater severity would indeed be a humiliation as well'as a disaster for the human race. Sir Patrick Hannon, M.P., honorary secretary of the British Industries (Association, in a speech, said: "Mr. (Chamberlain is now playing the most] difficult part played hfy any statesman { since the days of Pitt. I believe he; has a much higher objective than the '■ immediate settlement of the, Czecho-j Slovak problem. I believe he has in view the foundation of a great frame-' work of cordial international relationship, establishing European peace for generations fto come. Our prayers: and good wishes go out to Mr. Cham-' berlain in the great responsibility that rests upon him. We hope he will ba successful in ensuring the new era of peace which everyone desires." !
