1939
Neville Chamberlain
Peace in Our Time Speech
[The following is the wording of the statement that
Neville Chamberlain waved when he stepped off the plane
after the conference in Berlin had ended on 30
September, 1939.]
"We, the German Fuehrer and Chancellor, and the
British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today
and are agreed in recognizing that the question of
Anglo-German relations is of the first importance for
two countries and for Europe.
"We regard the agreement signed last night and the
Anglo-German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire
of our two peoples never to go to war with one another
again.
"We are resolved that the method of consultation
shall be the method adopted to deal with any other
questions that may concern our two countries, and we are
determined to continue our efforts to remove possible
sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure
the peace of Europe."
Chamberlain read this statement to a cheering crowd
in front of 10 Downing St. and said; "My good friends
this is the second time in our history that there has
come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with
honor. I believe it is peace in our time."
