TALK IS PROPOSED
Henderson Strives to Bring.
About Meeting in Behalf
of Disarmament.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.


BY Radio to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, July 19.-Stub-
bornly determined to save his Disarn1-
ament Conference, Arthur Henderson.
it's British chairman, and Europes
latest travelling salesman in politics"
has announced in talks with newspaper
men here that he is endeavoring to
bring German Chancellor Adolf Hitler
and French Premier Edouard Daladier
together for an important private talk.
at first this idea makes one laugh
Hitler the dictator. who in his book,
My Struggle" proclaimed the humiila-
ton of the 'beniggared" French as the
chief German aim. talking with The
dauby French democrat. Daladier! Yet
politics makes strange bedfellows.
Henderson's Idea.
Germans Of the new regime. who fear
French military Intervention more than
famine or plague, admit that the idea
of private conversation between Dala-
dier and Hitler is agreeable to them.
Naturally they would like to have the
meeting somewhere within Germany.
The French apparently counter that
it is preposterous to imagine the free
citizen, Daladier, visiting Hitlerland. In
fact. It would be very difficult for Dala-
dier to see Hitler any way, they say,
since the German idea of negotiations
is to ask lot and give nothing, and
the French see no reason to make any
presents.
Yet If Daladier, the French say.
should consent to see Hitler, then the
place could only be Geneva, within the
familiar atmosphere of the League of
Nations. Hitler does not think any too
well of the League and would prefer
some other place for the meeting
In fact. the Nazis admit that al
though they have always wanted little
private talk with the French, the idea
of a direct meeting between the two
prime ministers emerged from Hender-
sons fertile brain and from there alone.
Only Way to Save 1t.
Henderson is in Prague today He
will see Foreign Minister Eduard Benc5
tomorrow and goes TO Munich to submit
his idea Of direct Franco-German
talk to Hitler
Students of politics here admit that
Henderson has hit the nail on the
head when he stated that Franco-Ger-
man biidt4 10 ti4t tllICl pOlILiI dl
problem of Europe They admit. if the
Disarmament Conference is to be saved.
a DaladierHitler talk may be the only
way to save it.
Mostly. however. they do not believe
the Disarmament Conference can be
saved. At least until such time as the
Germans can hit on something to offer
Great Britain as well as France in Ex-
change for the right TO increase Ger
man armaments, the situation seems
hopeless
This would mean concretelv waiting
until the Germans make up their minds
to accept the principle CT International
supervision and militia system
1t IS a question whether these things
will not continue to seem TOO great a
sacrlf1ce to the nationahstic heads Of
