Upon his arrival in London, Minister Romon's first course of action was to meet with the renowned faction of war advocates in Britain, expressing his apprehension about Germany's terrifying military might and his own resolute war intentions.
Although Winston Churchill was far removed from the government, he had previously held a variety of cabinet positions, including Minister of Internal Affairs, Navy Secretary, Minister of Munitions, Secretary of Army, Air Force Minister, Minister for Colonial Affairs, and Minister of Finance, which meant he still possessed considerable standing in British politics.
After listening to Minister Romon's firm stance on war, this former cabinet member, now transformed into a writer and renowned critic, suggested with implication, "Perhaps the fate of our countries that stand behind us will be decided by the meetings of tomorrow."
On April 10, 1936, Prime Minister Baldwin hosted a diplomatic meeting with Minister Romon, who represented France.
