LONDON, Sept. 18 (UU. P) Prime Minister Chamberlain re turned from Berchtesgaden today iwith Adolf Hitler's demands on {Czechosiovakia and that he would talk again with Hitler perhaps in 8 few dave after he has consulted his Ministers Declaring that he had had a long talk with Herr Hitler, Mr. Chamberlain said “It was a frank talk but a {riendIv one and 1 feel thoroughly satisfied now (hat each of us understands what is in the mind of the other. “You will not, of course, expect me to discuss now what may be the results of that talk.

Mr. Chamberiain said that if he had not been sa preoccupied he would have found the journey "very enjoyable.” Mr. Chamberlain's reference to understanding between himself and Herr Hitler was greeted with loud cheers by people on the field and

It was learned that Chamberlain had talked with Halifax by telephone before he left Berchtesgaden. He was understood to have conveved the impression to the foreign secretary that he was not dissatisfied with his conference. Chamberlain at that time did not relate anv details of the meeting because his telephone connection was bad, it was said. As Mr. Chamberlain stepped from the plane, he was handed a blackedged envelope, apparently from the King. who is in mourning for Prince Arthur of Connaught.
