Adolf
Hitler announced his peace plan to the Reichstag. It included a proposal that
the conference should be held to discuss questions arising out of the collapse
of Poland, Germany's claims to colonies and the limiting of armaments.
A statement was later issued on the authority of the British government that although
his proposals were vague and obscure they would be carefully examined. But that

confidence within Europe.
A conference of the Allied command was held
in France.
