“There was one passage which we may hope will leave as deep an impression in Germany as it deserves to do, seeing that it expresses very pointedly the dominant and undivided opinion of the people of Britain,” said the London Daily Telegraph, in commenting upon Mr Chamberlain's speech in the House of Commons. “After a handsome acknowledgment of the great qualities of the German people; after asserting his strong desire to obtain the help of Germany in the restoration of Europe, and his belief that there could he no peace or progress without such co-operation; after disclaiming any spirit of vindictiveness or intention to cramp German development, Mr Chamberlain added: ‘At the same time it is not enough for us to express that desire. It takes two to make an agreement as it takes two to make a war; and l am still waiting! for a sign from those* who speak for the German people that they share this desire, and that they are prepared to make their contribution to the peace which would help them as much as it would help us.’ The cheers which acclaimed these words showed how entirely they expressed the feeling of the House of Commons.”
