IITLER PARLE Viscount Halifax to Determine Possibility of Peace, in Europe London, Nov. 16 (UB Viscount Halifax, one of Britain's most expert political negotiators, left for Berlin today to talk European peace with Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, CoL-Gen. Hermann Goering, and other Nazi leaders. It waS believed here that the talks, officially termed private as they are, might prove one of the most Important developments in recent European diplomatic ac tivities. Advance Date Apparently In an effort to cut short rumors that the visit might be postponed, the government ad vanced Lord Halifax's departure by one day.

British spokesmen insisted that any talks he might engage in would be exploratory, to sound out the' possibilities of a later agreement on European pacification. Nevertheless, the visit was regarded as of major Importance, and talk started today of a follow-up visit to Rome by Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who would engage. In talks with Count Galeazzo Clano, Italian foreign minister, and presumably with Premier Benito Mussolini. Seek Solution It was understood here that Lord Halifax; with the authorization of the cabinet, would tell Hit-leT and Goering that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain waa eager to solve the problems outstanding among the big western European powers and that he would not insist, as part of any agreement, that Germany return to the League of Nations. There were reports, however, that Lord Halifax might suggest the possibility of a revision of the league covenant which would make It more attractive- to Germany.

Any such revision would entail complete separation of the hated Versailles treaty from the cov enant, and thus remove the league's present responsibility for enforcing It Lord Halifax a departure over shadowed another visit of impor tance that of King Leopold of Belgium to London, to -see King George and to talk to British gov ernment leaders. King Leopold arrived today, to be the king's guest at Bucking ham Palace until Friday. Japs Ready to Quit the Nine Power Treaty Tokyo, Nov. 16. (UB Members of the House of Representative adopted a manifesto today urging the government to withdraw from the nine-power treaty in retaliation for denunciation of Japan's course in China at the Brussels far east ern conference.

The manifesto held that the gov ernment by withdrawing from the treaty, which is supposed to guar antee China's political and terri torlal sovereignty, might anticipate any effort by treaty signatories or adherents to intervene in the Chinese-Japanese war. It was urged that foreign powers are unable, to understand that the far eastern situation has changed materially since the signing of the treaty In 1922 and that any effort to solve the problem by majority vote of treaty signers would result in erroneous action because' tHe powers have divergent Interests in China. The manifesto asserted that It would be legal under international law to declare the treaty outdated.

In event Congress takes no action to modify the act, It was said, the conference will reconvene next Monday probably to adopt a resolution recording its decision to adjourn indefinitely.
