Second Sunday. As they did the Sunday before, French Premier Edouard Daladier and Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet came over to London last Sunday, this time cheered with much greater enthusiasm by English crowds in Whitehall, which rang loudly with La Marseillaise...
After the British and French Ministers had conferred for another full day, the British Foreign Office announced this week, "It is still possible [to find a peaceful solution] by negotiation. Germany's claim to transfer of the Sudeten areas has already been conceded by the French, British and Czechoslovak Governments.

For once, Joseph Stalin, ordinarily content to leave Russian foreign policy largely to Maxim Litvinoff, who was at Geneva all week (see p. 16), suddenly bestirred himself in Moscow. The Soviet press was not permitted to announce the fact, but the Kremlin flashed to Warsaw a drastic threat that, if Poland should invade Czechoslovakia, Russia would at once denounce her 1932 Treaty of Non-Aggression with Poland and "march...
