Likely

To Be Admitted

London, Nov. 26. Britain and France will likely decide, after conferences between M. Camille Chautemps, Prime Minister, M. Yvon Delbos, Foreign Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain and Mr. Anthony Eden, to make a gesture recognising Ger- many's right in principle to the possession of colonies.

Such a move is strongly favoured by a section of the Cabinet.

The belief is held that this is the most logical step to- wards satisfying Herr Adolf Hitler's demand for recógni- tion of German equality as one of the seven major world powers. Furthermore it would be a bridge over which progress towards a European settlement might be possible.
