LONDON,
September
2:
(CP)
Great
Britain
has
delayed
any
declaration
o'f
war
against
Germany
at
least
until
noon
tomorrow
but
Prime
Minister
Neville
Chamberlain
declared
in
the
House
of
Commons
that
"I
anticipate
there
is
only
one
answer
I
shall
have
to
give
the
House
at
that
time."
The
Premier's
statement
followed
revelation
by
Foreign
Secretary
Halifax
that
Italy
had
proposed
a
five
power
conference
in
an
attempt
to
restore
peace
between
Grmany
and
Poland.
The
declaration
of
war
had
been
expected
through-out
the
day.
Mr.
Chamberlain
told
the
Commons
that
he
would
be
"horrified
if
the
House
for
one
mo-ment
thought
my
statement
concerning
the
Italian
proposal
betrayed
the
slightest
weaken-ing
either
of
the
British
or
French
governments
in
the
attitude
we
have
already
taken.
After
Chamberlain
had
spoken,
Rt.
Hon.
Arthur
Greenwood,
Labor
leader,
declared:
"There
is
a
growing
feeling
in
all
quarters
of
the
House
that
this
incessant
strain
must
end
sooner
or
later
and
the
sooner
the
better.
"If
we
inarch
I
hope
we
shall
march
with
com
plete
unity
and
march
with
France."
