CZECHS’ NOTE TO ROOSEVELT.
OBJECTION TO SOME TERMS. ARBITRATION DESIRED. WASHINGTON, September 29. The United Press states that the Czech Note to Mr Roosevelt expressed readiness to cede to Germany the territory inhabited by an excess of 50 per cent, of Germans, to settle the whole problem by December 15, or, possibly, by October 31, and to permit the control of the disputed area bv an international commission and its gradual occupation by British troops before cession to Germany. Czechoslovakia agrees to demobolisation and the revision of its treaty system.
The Czechs, however, do not agree to evacuation oh the territory, demobilisation or the abandonment of fortifications before the new border line is determined or the exchange of populations is guaranteed or a new system of international guarantees of the nation’s independence is assured. The Czechs also do not agree to a plebiscite in regions having a majority of Czech population. The Note asks Mr Roosevelt to arbitrate should negotiations fail.
