"The future of Europe is bound up with the success or failure of the Godesberg conversations," declared "The Times." "Were they to fail, there can be no doubt in anyone's mind in this country or elsewhere that the British people would answer with instant, unhesitating, and united resolution any call that might be made upon them. Opinion regarding the outcome of the conversations is divided. Some believe that there was an agreement in principle before Mr. Chamberlain arrived in Godesberg and that only matters of detail remained to be settled. Others noting that the German demands seem to have expanded since the Berchtesgarden talks while British opinion ha: stiffened against further concessions were less optimistic. The fact, however, that the negotiations are to be continued today is generally regarded as a good sign. There are points in the Anglo-French plan which may not meet with general German approval and a breakdown on any of them may bring Mr. Chamberlain home suddenly and have disastrous consequences. The, first is the removal of the Hungarian and Polish claims. The second possible stumbling block is the German demobilization, The third is a reasonable time limit for the transfer of populations and for the settlement of definite boundaries."
