I Believe It Is Peace For Our

Ever Since I Assumed My Present Office My Main Purpose Has Been To Work For The Pacification Of Europe, For The Removal Of Those Suspicions And Those Animosities Which Have So Long Poisoned The Air. The Path Which Leads To Appeasement Is Long And Bristles With Obstacles. The Question Of Czechoslovakia Is The Latest And Perhaps The Most Dangerous. Now That We Have Got Past It, I Feel That It May Be Possible To Make Further Progress Along The Road To Sanity.

It Is Evil Things That We Will Be Fighting Against-brute Force, Bad Faith, Injustice, Oppression And Persecution-and Against Them I Am Certain That The Right Will Prevail.

However Much We May Sympathize With A Small Nation Confronted By A Big And Powerful Neighbor, We Cannot In All Circumstances Undertake To Involve The Whole British Empire In A War Simply On Her Account. If We Have To Fight It Must Be On Larger Issues Than That.

Though I Never Shout At Labour Members Or Insult Them, I Can Never Understand The Psychology Of Some Of Our Men Who Endeavoured To Reason With Them.

We Would Fight Not For The Political Future Of A Distant City [danzig], Rather For Principles Whose Destruction Would Ruin The Possibility Of Peace And Security For The Peoples Of The Earth.
