American cartoon, 1939

"This cartoon by the British cartoonist Sidney 'George' Strube appeared in the Daily Express on 3 October 1938. Chamberlain (on the right, with nothing but a hat and umbrella), confronts Mars (the God of War)."

We, the German Fuhrer and Chancellor and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognising the question of Anglo-German relations as of the first importance for the two countries and for Europe.
We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo-German naval agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two people never to go to war with one another again.
We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove probable sources of difference and thus contribute to assure the peace of Europe.
