Referring to the Opposition's distrust of Signor Mussolini's, and Herr Hitlers, words, Mr. Chamberlain said:
"Surely the worst way to ensure ihat a man who has given his word will keep it is to tell him that you do not believe him, and will base your actions on the assumption that he is not going to keep his word. I am quite certain that Mr. Attlee is mistaken."
"Before we enter on a final settlement," Mr. Chamberlain concluded, "we shall want to see evidence of willingness to enter into an alliance, if not for disarmament, then for the limitation of armaments.
"When that time comes, if we can find a spirit corresponding to our own elsewhere, I know that this country will be ready to makes its contribution to a general appeasement."
