DANGER OF WAR
ONLY IF FALSE IMPRESSION GAINS GROUND That Britain and France Are Not in Earnest DECLARATION BY MR CHAMBERLAIN WARNING REGARDING DANZIG SITUATION (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11J8 a.m.) RUGBY, May 11. A declaration that there was only one danger of war in Europe and that was if the impression should get about that Britain and France were not in earnest and could iiot be relied upon to carry out their pledges, was a notable feature of a speech by Mr Chamberlain to women Conservatives at the Albert Hall. Mr Chamberlain said, no greater, no more deadly mistake could be made abroad than to be misled by such an impression, and in reference to Danzig he added emphatically that if an attempt were made to change the situation there by force in such a way as to threaten Polish independence, that would inevitably start a general conflagration, in which Britain would be involved. He said the British people had settled down in a mood of firm and fixed resolve, confident in their strength and clear in their conscience.
