OUTCOME OF TALKS

PRESS SPECULATION

Chamberlain's Fear of Nazi Invasion. HITLER'S PRICE TOO HIGH. United I'ross Association. —Copyright. (Uecelved 2.30 p.m.) LONDON", this day. The ''Daily Mail" correspondent at Godesberg says Mr. Chamberlain evidently felt he could not put him- i self in the position in which he might still be negotiating while the Germans I were occupying Sudetenland. Consequently he sent a letter to Herr Hitler, again urging German moderation. It is believed the burden of the letter was the report that German formations arc mingling with the Free Corps on the Czech frontier. In German eyes this is not regarded as military occupation, but Mr. Chamberlain realised the danger of the talks coming to a swift and sudden end. The "News Chronicle" Berlin correspondent says it is considered that the interruption of the Godesberg talks can have only one reason, and probably only one sequel. In a nutshell Herr Hitler's price was raised too high for Mr. Chamberlain to accept. The tirades against Czechoslovakia and also the threats to march in are not the independent opinions of overwrought editors, but propaganda deliberately diffused by the Government. From the contemptuous tone in which intelligent people denounce Britain's "spineless surrender," it is clear that any Nazi scruples about inarching have gone with the wind.
