eph P kennedy home from london and william C bullitt home from paris though committee room walls supposedly have no ears it was learned that kennedy and bullitt thoroughly frightened their congressional audience with the following opinion on european affairs great britain has favored appeasement pea of italy and germany because neither she nor france have adequate arms so intense is british appeasement sentiment that london would permit germany to build an airbase in canada rather than revert to war but since czechoslovakian sellout at munich last september proved that one appeasement leads to another france has determined to stop this policy therefore france will not concede to italian territorial demands knowing that in war great britain must come to her aid and tRussia that tha to in turn must aid the democracies crux of the kennedy bullitt opinion that further appeasement as advocated by prime clr minister ster chain chamberlain ber lain will vill only delay the eventual showdown and make war even more critical when it comes which will probably be within the next few months the V U S will not be drawn into this con conflict flicht immediately if
