MUNICH AGREEMENT
COURSE OF EVENTS DISAPPOINTING
GERMANY NOT RESPONSIVE CONCESSIONS MUST BE MET BY CONCESSIONS I British Official Wireless! RUGBY, 19th January. Mr Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Trade, in a speech, said he did not think anyone could be other than disappointed by the course of events since the Munich agreement.
Germany had not been responsive during the past two months, and the people of Britain did not want one-sided
promises and one-sided agreements. They were prepared to make sacrifices for peace, and he thought others who desired peace should do the same. “I do not believe any useful purpose can be served by this country making further concessions unless they are met by concessions on the other side."
Meantime, they had got to be preT>ared and combine this preparedness with a desire for agreement and the intention to seek peace if peace were possible.
