THE CZECH UNREST.
SPREAD TO MANY TOWNS. MORE PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED. (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) PARIS, November 20. Reports, from the Czech frontier indicate that the revolt at Prague spread to many towns and villages. More, people are being arrested and sent to the BucbeTiwald concentration camp. SEVERITY OF REPRESSION. DISAPPROVED BY NEUTBALS. LONDON, November 19. Such extracts from the neutral press relating to the Nazi action in Czechoslovakia in the last few days as have so far reached London indicate that the extreme severity of the measures reported to have been taken to repress expressions of nationalist sentiment and popular discontent has incurred the disapproval of neutral observers. The Netherlands newspaper “Maasbade” argues that brutal measures never have bad practical results, while the Danish “Politiken” finds it surprising that a regime that has built itself up on a thesis of the strength of national bonds should under estimate the strength of national feeling in another case.
