The Daily Telegraph’s diplomatic correspondent says it is learned that Herr von Ribbentrop (German Ambassador) informed Mr Baldwin at their conversation on Monday that Berlin would break off diplomatic relations with Russia if Stickling, the German engineer, found guilty of sabotage, was executed. 'Mr Baldwin that such an open breach would seriously prejudice attempts to secure a new European peace system. The British Government’s view is being conveyed to the Soviet. It is now revealed that Herr von Ribbentrop flew to Berlin at the weekend and saw Herr Hitler before meeting Mr Baldwin. He returned to Berlin by air yesterday to report to Herr Hitler.
