The Berlin Correspondent of the London Times states that the agreement reached by the Berlin Committee is almost completely in line with the demands made by Herr Hitler in his famous Godesberg Ultimatum. The Correspondent reports that the bulk of the Godesberg demands have been acceded to owing to the firm and unyielding attitude adopted by the German representatives on the Committee.

As a result of the new
