BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 3.-A point
blank German refusal to promise
not to fortify the Rhineland, even
temporarily, was delivered to the
British government today.
1t arrived at the foreign office
shortly before Anthony Eden,
foreign secretary, went to the
House of Commons to announce
that Great Britain, France and
Belgium were ready to fight as
allies if attacked by Germany,
but that the British government
was anxious to discuss perma-
nent peace proposals with Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler.
It was understood that the final
answer was delivered to Eden by
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, Hitler's spe-
cial ambassador, in a five-minute
talk Just before Eden went to the
House of Commons to outline the
conditions under which Anglo-French-
Belgian general stats will confer in
London.
An authoritative source said that,
despite repeated urging by Eden, Won
Ribbentrop told him that Hitler said
Germany was unable to make any
contribution" with respect to forti-
1ications.
Conversations Next Week.
The military conversations prob
ably will start next week.
The text of letters which Eden
gave the French and Belgian Ambas-
sadors April and their replies were
published in white paper today.
The assurances among the three
governments involve the staff talks
and promises for mutual defense in
case Of an invasion by Germany.
Authoritative sources indicated that
Germany's objections have tempo
rarily delayed the publication of a
new 90-page white paper in which
will be detailed the various British
moves to give Germany an opportunity
to settle the difficulties concerning the
incompatibility of the Franco-Soviet
and Locarno pacts through diplomatic
channels.
1t was reported that Germany had
protested against the publication Of
certain material hitherto kept secret.
Eden assured the Commons that
technical details worked out by the
generals would be invoked only in
case the Nazi Reich attacked either
France or Belgium.
Such conferences were proposed
under the London accord of the
Locarno powers, reached after Ger
many occupied the Rhineland in de-
fianCe of the I0carno r,oct and
Versailles treaty. But Hitler, in his
proposals for liquidation of the crisis,
