(A. I‘. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PARJS. Sept. 38-Preimier Dai- adier tonight cautiously avoided any advance domonstration optimism as he prepared for w- morrows four-power peace confer- ence al. Munich, Germany.

Instead, he signed a decree call- ing new troops to the colors. strengthening his hand for tomor- row's negotiations with Rslchs- fuehrer Hitler, Prime Minister Chamberlain. and Premier Mus- soiinl.

In a broadcast tonight Daladicr promised he would strive to pr.» serve peace at the _ round table talk. But there was no note oi optimism regarding the outcome.

Persons close the foreign ministry indicated Daladier would undertake not only to settle the German-Czechoslovak conflict. but also to improve France's strained relations with Ilalv as a step to- ward lasting peace;

There was possiblity, according to a report. in diplomatic circles. that the Munich Conference might debate a new Anglo-French plan for settlement of the Sudetenland crisis providing for “symb0lic" oc- cupation by Germany before Sai- urdny of the unrlisput-rdly Ger- manic sections. but with nn inter- ilationai commission giramnteclrls Jzechoslovakias frontiers pending adjustment of other areas.

Announcement cf the Munich conference nevertheless broilaht. an evident feeling of relief to crowds in the streets who snatched copies of extra editions of ncwspappcrs telling of developments.

The news came toward the close of a dey during which the cxodus frcm the capital, caused by fear of war, reached new heights.
