Semi - Official Statement
'Assures British Views

Britain Hopes Knowledge
Will Forestall War
From Fuehrer :
LONDON, Sept. 10.HflP-Great
Britain has warned Adolf Hitler
himself that British neutrality
cannot be counted on if Germany
should start a major war over
Czechoslovakia,' it was Teported in
authoritative quarters tonight.
A British semi-official state
ment Issued tonight declared that
as a result of contacts made by
Sir Nevile Henderson, British am
bassador, at the nasi party con
gress at Nurnberg, Germany, this
week, "there is every reason to
feel assured the views of the Brit
ish government have been fully
conveyed in .the proper quarter.
Feared Stand
Not Impressed .
British had feared her; stand
was not being Impressed upon
Hitler himself, and that, unin
formed of the British attitude, he
might chart a more a g g r e s sive
course than otherwise in his eagerly-awaited
foreign policy ad
dress at Nurnberg Monday.
Tonight's statement, however,
left little doubt -the fuehrer now
knows where the British govern
ment stands. It was evident Sir
Nevile was convinced that the
Germans now know he ' is not
bluffing, and that it is no longer
necessary for him to see Chan
cellor Hitler personally to drive
this fact home. ,
The statement said:
"It was stated tonight in au
thoritative quarters that during
his visit to Nurnberg the British
ambassador has had TPluablw- op
portunities of meeting with " the
principal German leaders.
"He has not either had or
sought any interview with Herr
Hitler other than the courtesy
meeting during the diplomatic re
ception, but this Is hot supposed
to have been an occasion of any
thing more than a general con
versation, nor indeed was this
necessary.
"Having obtained a full report
of the contacts he has made, there
is every reason for the British
ministers to feel assured that the
views of his majesty's govern
ment have been fully conveyed in
the proper quarter."
Sir Nevile's principal contacts
were with Foreign Minister Joa
chim Von Ribbentrop, whom he
saw only yesterday, ana teia
Marshal Hermann Wllhelm Goer
lng, "second man" of the nazi
