In virtual rejection of Herr Hitler's peace proposals, M. Edouard Daladier, the French Premier, told the Senate Foreign Affairs Commission last night that only a French and British victory would assure "a regime of real justice and lasting peace in Europe."
This declaration was made two hours after the German Chancellor had outlined his peace formula to the Reichstag.
A communique issued after the meeting of the Commission said M. Daladier, referring to the French and British conception of peace, declared. "This peace excluded all domination in Europe; It can be founded only on the rights of the people to life and liberty. France and Great Britain will never lay down their arms until that peace has been effectively assured, According to authoritative circles here, Herr Hitler's speech contained only what was expected, The salient points in it are stated to be the cynicism with which he insulted Poland, and his own exaltation of himself.
It is pointed out that his attacks on British Ministers are becoming a personal affair, as was the case with Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg, former Austrian Chancellor, and Dr. Edouard Benes, last President of Czechoslovakia The German Chancellor, it is further pointed out, represents himself as the champion of European order and liberty, with Germany on one side unanimous for peace, and the Western Powers on the other. He believes that Germany and Russia can solve all German problems in Europe. Herr Hitler, it is said, hopes to found peace by forcing other Powers to yield everywhere to German wishes, and to accept the exploitation of central and eastern Europe as a German colonial domain.—Reuter.
