London, Sept. 27.
An explanation of the reference the British Legion made by Herr Hitler in his speech was given today by an announcement that, with the consent of Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the President of the British Legion, Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice, took certain proposals to the Fuehrer on September 25, offering the services of the Legion during the determination of new frontiers for Czechoslovakia, Sir Frederick Maurice returned by air yesterday and placed Herr Hitler's reply before Mr. Chamberlain.
Herr Hitler's reference to the British Legion was made while speaking on the subject of an international. control commission to supervise voting in the plebiscite areas in Sudetenland. He said he was ready to invite the British Legion to undertake the task.—Reuter.
