BE MADE SHORTLY

London, March 24.

A written personal message from the German Chan- cellor, Herr Adolf Hitler, to the British Government has been conveyed to Mr. Anthony Eden, the Foreign Secretary, by the Berlin emissary, Herr von Ribbentrop. The German diplomat visited the Foreign Office this evening, having flown from Berlin in the afternoon, and delivered the Ġerman leader's message.

Germany declines to withdraw her troops from the Rhineland or to negotiate with other nations on con- ditions of inequality; but Germany stands by her peace proposals, for which the restoration of her sovereignty was the proper basis, Herr Hitler's message says.

The note adds that Mr. Eden's draft proposals are based upon

new discrimination which Germany cannot accept.

Following the restoration of the complete indepen- dence and sovereignty of the Reich, the German Government has an earnest desire to make a great contribution to European peace and to bring about an improvement in the social conditions of European
