30 SEPTEMBER 1938, Page 3

For the moment everyone is content to await the outcome

of the Munich meeting. The general feeling in Westminster appears to be that the unmistakable warning issued by the British Government on Monday, and the lukewarmness of Signor Mussolini, have had their effect, and that the intrans- igence of Herr Hitler has somewhat abated. There is still, however, a distinct uneasiness at the possibility of another retreat at the expense of the Czech people. If they were called upon for still greater sacrifices than those demanded by the Anglo-French plan, the Opposition parties and possibly a section of Government supporters would revert to the mood of a week ago. If, however, the Prime Minister stands firm at Munich he will have behind him a united House of Commons.
