HITLER READY FOR PEACE MOVE?
BERLIN, July: 20.
IT IS understood that Hitler is scheduled to re- consider, with the Danzig and Nazi leaders at Berchtesgaden next week, what is popularly termed the "Hitler plan" for the peaceful solution of the various problems.
The plan is supposed to envisage the question of Danzig independently from that of the Polish corridor,
Hitler is at present at Ber- chtesgaden with his intimate advisers.
The general view here is that the situation is not materially altered, that military preparations are pre- eeeding, and that the peace plan re- ports have been brought into evidence by the desire of all parties for some sort of compromise, which is cm- phasised by the press restraint in handling the Danzig Pollsh shooting incident.--United Press,
