London, Sept. 15.

According to reports received in well-informed circles here, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, decided to see Herr Hitler after Berlin had accepted to negotiate on the basis of a plebiscite in the Sudeten areas to be held under international control on condition that Britain and France get Prague's acceptance to this scheme.

1t is rumoured that the Prime Minister will go to Prague to see the Czech President, Dr. Eduard Benes, before returning to London.

Mr. Chamberlain's two aides are Sir Horace Wilson, Chief Industrial Adviser to the British Government. and Mr. William Strang, head of the Central European Department in the Foreign Office. Sir Horace is known here as the Prime Minister's confidential adviser and is declared to have first suggested to Mr. Chamberlain that the Runciman mission be sent to Prague.
