ovation from one of the largest crowds ever seen in Berchtesgaden when he arrived at 6 p.m. yesterday (1 a.m. H.K.T.) for his momentous conversations with Herr Hitler.

The British Prime Minister and German Chancellor were closeted together for two and a half hours.

Diplomatic circles believe that Mr. Chamberlain has proposed to Herr Hitler a Round Table conference between | the major world Powers to prevent a European War.

It is believed that, if success is to be achieved, Czecho-Slovakia will have to make heavy sacrifices, including a measure of autonomy to the Sudetens that will permit them sooner or later to enter the Reich.

An impassioned proclamation has been issued by Herr Henlein. the Sudeten leader, who states that living

with the Czechs in one State has become impossible. The proclamation is described in Berlin as the cry of a people in distress which cannot be considered lightly. DELAY SPELLS DANGER

Berlin, Sept. 15.

Mr. Chamberlain's departure for London and the decision to postpone the discussions with Herr Hitler are interpreted here in political quarters as proof that he has realised the seriousness of the situation and that every minute of delay spells the utmost danger.-Reuter.
