GREATEST SECRECY

The meeting took place amid a
secrecy far exceeding that which
has surrounded previous consulta-
tons between the two dictators.
So shielded was its time, place
and exact nature that only an
hour before the war council was
officially announced in brief
communique. an official German
spokesman had fatty dSnied to
assembled correspondents that the
meeting had taken place or pre-
sumably even was scheduled.
A rigid silence is necessarily
imposed upon all such important
events. it was explained. But the
unusual secrecy shrouding today's
consultation was cited as Strik-
ing demonstration of its vital inn
portance in the light of the final
stage of the war against England
and what Germany regards as
President Roosevelt's undeclared
hoStilities by America
