French Premier Chamberlain Talks with Hitler Aims at Peace
Paris September 15 The French government hopes Britain’s premier Chamberlain can resolve the Czechoslovak crisis through a personal talk with Adolf Hitler. Daladier initiated the move, and sources say the interview could go any direction. Some see hope in Hitler’s quick agreement to meet, others fear it merely grants Hitler a victory without war. The central aim is to show France and Britain would resist by force if needed, changing Hitler’s belief they would not fight.
