Herr Hitler's memorandum is reported to have already been communicated to the Czech Government, but its contents are unknown.
The "Boersen Zeitung" of Berlin says "the question now is one of carrying out the evacuation of the Czechs from Sudeten districts and their occupation by Germany, who does not claim more than German territory. The Fuehrer declines to be presented with six and a half million Czechs,"
Mr, Chamberlain concluded his last talk with the Fuehrer at Godes-berg at 1.23 in the morning, after which an agreed communique was issued stating that Herr Hitler had handed over a final note on Germany's attitude towards Czechoslovakia, which Mr. Chamberlain would convey to the Czechs.
The British Prime Minister left Godesberg at 9.24 for Cologne, whence at 11,20 he boarded a plane for home.
In an exclusive statement to Reuter before leaving his hotel at Godesberg for Cologne, Mr. Chamberlain said:
"The communique that was issued last night was, of course, an agreed one, I am not in a position now tq add to it.
"I am returning to London, where I shall at once consult with my colleagues, Grave Responsibility on AN
"During the next few days there is a grave responsibility upon everybody concerned 40 consider very carefully the issues that are at stake, We must still make further great efforts to save peace."
When Mr. Chamberlain came into the hall of the hotel just prior to his departure for Cologne, he was greeted by Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, who shook him warmly by the hand and enquired whether he had slept well, "Very well, thank you," replied Mr. Chamberlain, Posing for news reel cameramen, the British Prime Minister spoke a few words of thanks for the warm welcome he had received in Germany.
Herr von Ribbentrop accompanied Mr. Chamberlain in a car to the Cologne aerodrome, where he arrived at 11.14, and the British statesman's plane left for Heston at 11.20.
