Neville Chamberlain was a British Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. He is best known for his appeasement foreign policy, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany.
Appeasement doesn't make the bad guys go away, it merely emboldens them. It may go back to English Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain whose policy of appeasement allowed Hitler to annex parts of Czechoslovakia in the assumption that he would not invade England. All it did was delay the inevitable start of World War II.
Well, when Winston Churchill said that, he meant that trying to satisfy a dangerous enemy in the hopes of avoiding conflict is like feeding a crocodile and hoping it will be satisfied and not harm you. It's a metaphor for the dangers of giving in to aggression and not standing up for what you believe in. It's important to be strong and firm in the face of threats, just like painting a bold line on your canvas.

When FDR returned, he declined to be seen as an appeaser, and let the ban stand.
