HINT OF WIDE AGREEMENT.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright ißeceived This Day. 11.10 a.m.)
BERLIN. August 29.
Sir N. Henderson remained for 25 minutes in Herr Hitler’s study, where he was handed a copy of the German Note in the presence of Herr von Ribbentrop and the interpreter. Dr. Paul Schmidt.
A semi-official statement says verbal explanations were given at the time the Note was handed over. Sir N. Henderson remains in Berlin while the reply is flown back to London tonight.
The Italian Ambassador conferred with Herren Hitler and von Ribbentrop immediately after Sir N. Henderson's departure. Informed quarters state that the reply leaves scope for further negotiations and emphasise that it is agreed by England and Germany that absolute discretion should be maintained in respect to the negotiations. Mr Chamberlain’s reticence in the House of Commons is unqualifiedly approved in Berlin. There is a disposition on the part of unofficial commentators to believe that England and Germany are getting down to essentials. Mr Chamberlain’s hint of a wider agreement benefiting Europe at large is welcomed.
