Talk Useful to Both Sides

As far as can be gathered from circles in close touch with the Fuehrer, the talk yesterday afternoon: proved useful to both sides.

It is believed that Herr Hitler stated his views on the Czech question, but that he did not by any means do all the talking. It is understood that Mr.

Chamberlain made the most of the opportunity to put the British case fairly and squarely before Herr Hitler.

It is believed that the talk hardly got as far as the negotiations stage, but it is generally felt that the cor versation cleared the air somewhat.

German circles suggest that Herr Hitler may have found in Mr. Chamberlain the sort of straightforward man of the world whom he always preferred to the more complicated type of diplomat.

It is learned that the next meeting will not be at Berchtesgaden.
