S. diplomats ever dreamed how far the British went in appeasing Hitler in 1938-1939. That was the era when Lord and Lady Astor, Lord Lothian (later ambassador to Washington, Lord Londonberry (educated among the German Junkers), Geoffrey Daw- son (editor of the London Times), Lord Runciman and Sir Samuel Hoare were the most powerful backstage figures in England. Lord Lothian made frequent trips to Germany for personal inter-| views with er. while Lord Run- ciman, cn a special mission to Cuzechoslovakia, was quite candid in encouraging the idea that Hitler should take the Sudetenland are over FD.R. GOT MAD At one time British double-cross- ing became so flagrant that Roose- velt sent an ultimatum Prime Minister Chamberlain, warning that if it continued, Great Britain as far as the United States was concerned, could operate on her own What arcused Roosevelt was the knowledge that British banks were sctualy lending money to Ger- many icr rearmament in the spring 1939—just a few months before Hitler's army invaded Poland. Also it was learned that the Federation of British Industries was negotiat- ing a secret pact with Germany, in violation of the Anglo-Amer can trade agreement.
