GOING TO BERLIN
VON PAPEN QUESTIONED REASONS SOUGHT SAYS HE MUST SEE HITLER. POSSIBILITY OF ALTERATION IN GERMAN PLANS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 31. Questioned regarding the reason for his probable departure for Germany on September 2 Herr Von Papen said he was obliged to go to Vienna for the removal of a stone from a kidney. He added: “Stone or no stone I must see the Fuehrer.” “The Times” Istanbul correspondent says .it is presumed that Herr Von Papen is flying to Hitler’s headquarters in the Ukraine. His departure, when Herr Kroll, Counsellor at the Embassy, is also absent, must have been prompted by most urgent motives. It is generally presumed that, having not seen Hitler or von Ribbentrop since the beginning of the Russian war, Herr von Papen feels he must consult them now as the failure to smash Russian resistance and the course of events in Iran may compel Germany to alter her plans.
