CROWDS' ENTHUSIASM
MR. CHAMBERLAIN'S SMILE LOUD CHEERING GREETS THE NEWS LONDON, Sept. 29 Mr.- Chamberlain was smiling when he left the House of Commons for No. 10 Downing Street, where he was greeted by cheers from a crowd waiting in Whitehall. Mr. Chamberlain called to them: "It's all right this time." The entire country suddenly, passed from gloom and foreboding to hope after hearing the news of the Munich Conference. Mr. Chamberlain's cry to the crowds: "It's all right this time," was taken up everywhere as a miracle phrase, coming ■when the nation knew it could not be nearer war, and with war preparations and precautions being pushed on day and night. In spite of the realisation that Europe's troubles are by no means ended, everyone again feels able to breathe more freely. The West End went wild with enthusiasm. Matinees were interrupted, and the audiences greeted the repetition of Mr. Chamberlain's dramatic words with long cheering.
