...public opinion-has slapped at Dictators Hitler and Mussolini, and by implication has frowned upon Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of "appeasing" Fascism. Instead of being told that they should revamp their views to fit Washington's, they persuaded the President to leave foreign policy out of his Chapel Hill speech (TIME, Dec. 12), and further to soften his democratic dander last week...
...problems of the President's seminar on U. S. foreign policy were sharply pointed up by the arrival in the U. S. of an unofficial ambassador from Great Britain. The President took pains to say he would receive ex-Foreign Minister Anthony Eden as one more visiting Englishman. But it was perfectly clear that they would meet this week as one democrat talking to another in an autocrats' world, for Mr. Eden quickly made it obvious that he had come to the U. S. as an apologist for Britain. Personable Mr. Eden had many an advantage...
...military alliances. They were willing to damn totalitarianism in general-but no specific totalitarian state in particular. ("The position of America is one of collaboration, not rebuke," said General Benavides.)

...mandated territories (like Cameroon, formerly German). Nor was there any mention of the moribund but unrenounced treaty of mutual aid between France and Russia, always a sore point with Germany. However, three days later the Chamber of Deputies voted (315-to-241) confidence in Premier Daladier's foreign policies, of which the French-German "friendship"' declaration is a keystone. Strangely, it was from the Right, which for 15 years scorned any diplomatic appeasement toward pre-Nazi Germany, that M. Daladier drew his support. The Left, traditionally friendly to the German Republic, voted against...
