NO LESSENING OF TENSION

Waiting For Hitler’s Speech SIGNIFICANT REPORT FROM GERMANY May Be Compelled To Intervene By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright (Received September 10,1.10 a.m.) LONDON, September 9. There is no diminution in the Czech crisis, although major developments, either for better or worse, are unlikely until early next week, by which time Herr Hitler is expected to have given a clue to his policy after being acquainted with the British attitude. Significant among the late overnight {lispatches concerning the Czech situation and bearing on the German readiness to magnify every incident in the Sudeten areas is a report of the Berlin correspondent of “The Times” that it is “frankly admitted here that a grave incident may precipitate the final crisis. Germany could not disregard ‘a cry for help’ from the Sudetens. “It is argued that, even if the Reich went to their assistance it would only be intervention, not invasion, since Germany has no intention of attacking the Czechs, but merely of protecting what she regards as her own. Why, then, should France intervene?”
