Benefits Derived From Conversation With Herr Hitler

London, Nov. 24. Suggestions that Herr Adolf 1tler presented Lord Halifax with a set of demands in ridiculed in British and German official quarters in London.

British clreics state that their recent Berlin meeting was in the nature of an informal talk, but there was no question of negotiations or bargaining on either side.
