Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today

 

British Prime Minister Neville ChamberlainNeville Chamberlain made his first major foreign policy speech in the House of Commons, in which he asked influential members of British society to exercise caution when talking about Germany’s policy toward Spain to avoid a larger European war. “I have read that in the high mountains there are sometimes conditions to be found when an incautious move or even a sudden loud exclamation may start an avalanche”, Chamberlain said. “That is just the condition in which we are finding ourselves to-day. I believe, although the snow may be perilously poised it has not yet begun to move, and if we can all exercise caution, patience and self-restraint we may yet be able to save the peace of Europe.”

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today

 

Paul Robeson made an important speech on the Spanish Civil War at the Royal Albert Hall in London during a benefit to raise funds for Basque refugee children. “There is no standing above the conflict on Olympian heights. There are no impartial observers”, Robeson said. “The liberation of Spain from the oppression of fascist reactionaries is not a private matter of the Spaniards, but the common cause of all advanced and progressive humanity.”
