About Settlement.

REPRESENTATIONS IN BERLIN. United Tress Association. —Copyright. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LOXDOX, May 12Herr Henlein, leader of the Sudeten Germans, left Prague for London to discuss the Czech problem with political friends. A Berlin message says the British Ambassador, Sir Xevile Henderson, called on Herr von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister. It is understood further representations were made in connection with C'/.eolioslovakia, in which connection Britain is most anxious that Herr Hitler and Herr Henlein should compromise to the utmost to enable a peaceful settlement.

Asked whether Herr Henlein's week end in England was politically signifi cant, the Sudeten party spokesman said:

"All week-end visits have political significance these days. People in England want to know the real truth of what is happening in Czechoslovakia. So far they have heard only the Czech viewpoint."

The spokesman declined to name Herr Henlein's English host.
