(Eeceived 19, 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 17. Tiie Times Berlin correspoildeni. sayo it is announced that Baron von Neuratb, German Foreign Minister, will aecompany Viscount Halifax to Berchtesgaden, the country home of Herr Hitler, to-morrow night by train. Newspapers, for the first time . make clear what, in the German view, should be the contents of the Anglo-German conversations. The VolkiScher Beobachter says: "The big question is how the generai principles ao.d methods of the foreign policies of England aud Germany can be harmonised so that the two countries, which hold the fate of Europc in their hands, may co-operate rather than impede ea-ch other in the solution of problems obstructing peaceful development in Europe. ' ' This raises the question of collectivity, to which Britain remains faithful, versus the system of agreements by individual States, which Germany has practised with success. "There is also the question of England appreeiating that Germany cannot alford, as Herr Hitler said at Nuremberg, to take the Bolshevist danger to the Continent as lightly as England, which has a world Empire on which 1o fall back. Germany feels justifiecl.in demanding understanding in Efigldnd for her role as crusader for a ■ Vhealtliy Europe."' The Alegemeine Zeitung says : "What Germany wants to knOw is Mr Chamberlain 's view on the role of Germany in the European balance of power." Other commentators suggest that the Anglo-German naval agreement should have satisfied England that Germany had no intention of challenging the British position in the world.
