Hitler and Halifax
Dell, Robert | December 18, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has taken control of British foreign policy out of the hands of Robert Gilbert Vansittart, permanent Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and is going too fast to please the Foreign Office. It was not the policy of the Foreign Office to tell Adolph Hitler, a dictator of Germany, that he could have a free hand in Europe east of the Rhine, or to bargain with him on that basis. Neville Chamberlain sent Lord Halifax, foreign minister, to Berlin to prepare the way for a bargain by which Germany would be given the right of way at least in Austria and Czechoslovakia in return for an undertaking to abandon or at least post-pone the demand for colonies.
