'ity demands in Czechoslovakia.
They discussed the European cris-
is at Hitler's villa 5000 feet up
in the Bavarian Alps.
An anxious world waiting to learn
whether peace or war will emerge
from the conference was given a
communique which, while brief,
contained no note of pessimism.
The official announcement from
Berchtesgaden said:
Chamberlain returns to England
tomorrow in order. to confer with
the British cabinet A new confer
ence will take place within few
days"
The head of the British govern
ment and the leader of greater
Germany met in the great hall of
Hitler's retreat within an hour of
the end of Chamberlain's unprece-
dented 700 mile dash by air and
train from London.
Chamberlain came for a show
down on what must be offered Hit
ler to satisfy his demand for self
determination for the Sudeten Ger
man minority in Czechoslovakia.
tWOrd from London was that
parliament would be called in spe-
cial session after Olamberlains
return, to hear an account of his
negotiations with Hitler0
1t was impossible to know what
went on at the momentous meeting
within the guarded precincts of
Haus Wachenfeld. Before flying
here from London, however, I was
told by reliable diplomatic sources
that Chamberlain would, in effect,
ask Hitler point blank:
Are you anxious for a military
adventure, or seriously anxious to
collaborate in working out a peace
plan beginning with the Sudetens,
and capable of being extended else
where in Europe, including the COL
onies question:"

Two Men Deciding If
World Conflict to

BY JOE ALE. MORRIS
Copyright 1888 by United Press

Two men meeting on the
pine-clad h e i G h t S above
Berchtesgaden today may
decide who won or lost the World
war.
From the moment of its incep-
ton this meeting of Prime Minister
Chamberlain and Chancellor Hitler
was touched by historys finger.
The relentless march of great events
were closing in at last with the
"victors" of the World war facing
a desperate struggle to avoid the
disaster of another conflict.
Today in the rambling white
house at Berchtesgaden came the
showdown.
Did the armistice of 1918 end the
world conflict or merely bring a
pause until it could be resumed
again?
History offers no adequate par
allel to today's meeting. Time was
when q single monarch could gam
BILE with the fate of nation; when
one general could chance the future
of millions on a single throw of
the dice. A word from Napoleon
and all Europe trembled; but today
the entire world tremulously awaits
the words uttered high on the OBJ
ersalzberg. In this modern world
few men could hope to escape the
disaster of another world war.
