MR CHAMBERLAIN’S VISIT TO HERR HITLER

Action Without Precedent in History DECISION POPULAR IN LONDON INTEREST IN OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES By Telegraph—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) > LONDON, > September 14. Without a parallel precedent in history, the Prime Minister of a great nation will iiy to another country with a plan for peace in an hour of crisis. This decision has been conveyed to and is understood and approved by the Opposition leaders and France. When the communique announcing Mr Chamberlain’s visit to' Germany was issued, fifty journalists representing all countries, dashed frantically through Whitehall to flash to all parts of the world news which startled Europe. The crowd sensed a big decision and swarmed round telephone booths endeavouring to overhear the messages. As the significance of the decision dawned on its members, the crowd cheered and shouted: “Good old Chamberlain.” Finally the police were forced to move the crowd to release the journalists imprisoned in the booths. This is either the first or one of very few flights Mr Chamberlain has made. Reuter’s Paris correspondent says the decision was reached after a telephone talk with M. Daladier, French Prime Minister.
