Whilst the Conference proceeds in Évian, the French Prime Minister has made some announcements in the past two days. First, Prime Minister Édouard Daladier was given the authority to govern by decree in the event of war. This is much like martial law and does not leave the people a representative voice in the creation or implementation of laws.
Second, Monsieur Daladier declared that France is recommitting itself to Czechoslovakian independence. This continues the line that France and Britain have maintained since demands from Hitler have come down for possession of the Sudetenland in April.
