These circumstances were somewhat misleading. With Prime Minister Chamberlain dramatically seeking peace from Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden (see p. 75), tension was less that evening than it had been for several days. Mr. Hull met the President's train mostly as a favor to the press. Otherwise reporters would have had to wait through a wet evening before filing accounts of the President's conference with his top diplomat. Similarly, the President's press conference was really canceled because he needed time to read reports. And Secretary Woodring had gone to the station for no reason more...

Instead of keeping their Downing Street talk secret for hours or days, the British and French chiefs smashed another precedent by having the gist of what they had said flashed to all the world immediately. M. Daladier was revealed, for example, to have readily agreed with Mr. Chamberlain's long exposition that to fight for Czechoslovakia would not save her but only result in twofold catastrophe. First, said Mr. Chamberlain, the Czech Army would massacre the Sudetens as traitors who would be caught between them and the German Army. Second, the Germans would have enough success in the first...
