BRITISH CRY “LIES” LONDON, Aug. 29--A British foreign official this afternoon as ' fantastic, and as a 100 per cent lie, the report from sources in Berlin that the British note to Hitler rep- resented a virtual agreement with Hitler's demands. Meanwhile, in London today, a dispatch was received from Berne, Switzerland, stating that the Swiss Federal Council has ordered. the partial closing of all frontiers of the country. SAYS HITLER CALLED LONDON, Aug. 29. Premier Chamberlain today told a tense and cheering House of Commons that Great Britain has again made plain to Hitler a British determination to fulfill Great Britain’s Polish obli- gations. The Premier added, “The issue of peace or war is still undecided. We hope and we still work for peace.” FLEET READY Chamberlain also announced that the whole British fleet is now ready | to take up positions in the event of war and said that Great Britain has delivered its final answer to Hitler's communication, As to Great Britain’s present po- sition, Chamberlain said: “We are awaiting Hitler’s reply. Details of the note sent toBerlin were undisclosed. Air defense, . Chamberlain nounced, is in ipstant readiness.
