Rough Channel Crossing

After a very rough Channel crossing, during which they intrepidly remained on deck, the British Ministers arrived here late yesterday afternoon.

"While apparently they have not come with any cut and dried programme, the French have drawn up an agenda for the talks, to include, in order of importance, Spain, the Far East, Franco-British ce-operation generally, including in the economic field, and Jewish emigration from Germany.

The British visitors received a cordial welcome both at Calais and Paris.

Shouts of "Vive Chamberlain" were raised as Mr. Chamberlain passed through the streets of Paris with M. Daladier in one car, followed by Lord Halifax and M. Bonnet in another.

Large crowds lined both sides of the station and down Rue Lafayette.

Mr. Chamberlain looked very cheerful as he drove from the station.
