London, Sept. 11 The "Sunday Times" writes that over since the beginning of the crisis the British Government had continued to utter its warnings and that the British nation took the matter very Seriously. Should Germany challenge Europe by attacking Czechoslovakia the necessary consequences "would be drawn from the repeated warnings of the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain which had been emphasised by Sir John Simon in his speech-at Lanark.
In the "Observer" Mr. J. L. Garvin similarly warns against any attempt by Germany to seek a solution of the Czech problem by means of violence, "Mr. Garvin writes that should Hitler seek to imitate the example of Louis XIV or Napoleon he would be faced by an indescribably overwhelming force. The writer goes on to say that Hitler professed to be an admirer of Frederic the Great who, however, after the conquest of Silesia was content to harvest the fruits of his victory and reaped far more from the maintenance of peace than he.could ever have done from a new war. Mr. Garvin concludes by saying that he is convinced that Hitler does not aspire to emerge as a "destroyer" front this decisive phase of his career and will not tread a path which will lead to war.—Trans-Ocean.
A report from Sir Nevile Henderson, British Ambassador to Germany, on hiş conversations with Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, on the Czech crisis formed one of the central topics of discussion at a special meeting of Ministers at Downing Street yesterday afternoon.
Among those present at the conference, which lasted two hours, were Mr, Chamberlain; Lord Halifax, Sir John Simon, Sir Samuel Hoare, and Sir Alexander Cadogan. Both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary are remaining in London over the week-end.
As the result of an authoritative statement, removing all doubts as to how far the British attitude might be known in the highest quarters in Germany, no further British demarche in Berlin is likely before Monday's Cabinet meeting, Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent learns.
According to authoritative circles, during his stay in Nuremberg Sir Nevile Henderson has had valuable opportunities of meeting the principal German leaders.
He has not either had or sought any interview with Herr Hitler other than a courtesy meeting during a diplomatic reception, but this is not supposed to have been the occasion of anything more than a general conversation, There is every reason to feel as sured, however, that the British Government's views have been fully conveyed to the proper quarter.—Reuter,
