KEEP COOL

■ LORR WINTERTON’S ADVICE EXTENSION OF DEMANDS CONDEMNED. GREAT BRITAIN’S ATTITUDE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) LONDON, September 22. Lord Winterton, in a speech at West Grinstead, said: "Keep a cool head - and clear judgment in this time of 3 perplexity and crisis, which is by no . means over. False optimism is as dap:l gerous as black pessimism.” y Lord Winterton added (a British Of- _ ficial Wireless message reports):—“Mr >, Chamberlain is taking with him to - Germany proposals which, in the cire cumstances, France and ourselves believe we can honestly and honourably y make and which Czechoslovakia has e accepted. It is, I think, the fact but 1 for Mr Chamberlain’s visit last week, a conflagration would already have started which would almost certainly 3 nave enveloped all Europe sooner or ' later. “Unhappily, since then two European 3 countries adjacent to Czechoslovakia and a large portion of the German Press have put forward proposals ’ which go far beyond and indeed have L nothing to do with the Sudeten German question. These countries and ’ newspapers should be under no delu--3 sion that there is any foundation for a belief that Britain would in any way • favour these proposals.”
