London-(AP)-Prime Minister Chamberlain told Adolf Hitler today he could have peace if he wanted it but it "must be a real and settled peace" and not that outlined by the German Fuehrer in the Reichstag last Friday.
Replying to Hitler's peace overtures, Chamberlain, in his weekly war report to the house of commons, scorned "an uneasy truce interrupted by constant alarms and repeated threats."
He said the proposals of Hitler's speech were "vague and uncertain and contain no suggestion for righting the wrong done to Czechoslovakia and Poland."
"The German government and the German government alone," Chamberlain declared, "stands in the way of the peace we are determined to secure."
That lacking convincing proof by definite acts and guarantees of Hitler's will for peace Britain and France "must persevere in our duty to the end."
Britain, Chamberlain declared, could not accept such a basis for peace as Hitler proposed "without forfeiting her honor."
