By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright LONDON. Ang. 2© The British Ambassador to Germany, Sir Nevile Henderson, left Croydon by air at 4.20 p.m. yesterday for Berlin, where he arrived at 8.31 p.m. Sir Nevile, before taking off, replied to shouts of "Good luck tj with Thank you. I shall want all the good luck I can get." The Ambassador saw Herr Hitler at 10 p.m. and left the Chancellery at 1 1.44 p.m. It is understood that the British Note was drafted three times. Sir Nevile was present at sill meetings of the Cabinet, also at No. I'O Downing Street for four hours before leaving for Germany, and thus was fully capable of explaining to Herr Hitler any points arising, from the Note. It is stated in a despatch from Berlin that the only basis for negotiations acceptable to Herr Hitler would be President 19 1 8 proposals—whereby Poland would be given only such territory as was inhabited by Polea—and free access to the sea. It is expected that Herr Hitler will deliver a written reply to Sir Nevile Henderson this morning, says the Berlin correspondent of the British United Press.
