British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain responded to a question in the House of Commons about Lord Halifax’s recent trip to Germany by explaining that the visit was “entirely private and unofficial” and so he would not “make any further statement in regard to them at this stage.” Chamberlain called speculation in the British press about the nature of the discussions “not only irresponsible but highly inaccurate.”

Arnold called about 10 a.m. Had a chance to come to Carlsbad with fellows going to the Caverns. He came on up here – My premonitions about him surely come true. Been feeling that he’d come or call for “two days!” Saw “Live Begins at College” with Ritz Brothers! Silly! Saw our bookcase. Saw Velma and Pete, Evelyn was married today! Was to have been our wedding day if our first plans had carried!!! Visited with Hazel Hansen, Mrs. Martens, Mr and Jack called to Neb by illness of Mr,Mrs father – he is better. Rode around in the moonlight. Had Mexican supper. To bed about 2 a.m. Arnold hopes the fellows stay until afternoon but it is doubtful.!
