NOT SATISFYING
HODZA'S CONCESSION
SUDETEN OFFICIALS
"FRIENDLY BUT FRUITLESS"
PRAGUE, August 20.
The Sudeten Deutsch orcan "Zeit" characterises the decision of Dr. Hodza (Premier of Czechoslovakia) to appoint Sudeten Germans to several important posts as "friendly but fruitless if it is supposed to satisfy the Sudeten demands."
A further, complication in the dispute, .. however, is provided by the Slovak autonomists' intensifying their pressure since the death of their leader, Father Hlinka. They have tabled an Autonomy Bill, demanding their own Parliament, -army, and liberty of language.
It was announced in a cablegram received from Prague on Saturday that the Prime Minister (Dr. Hodza) had informed Lord Runciman, mediator, in the negotiations with the Sudeten Germans, that seven postmasterships in the Sudetenland were being allotted to officials of German nationality within a fortnight, also, further posts in the overseers' departments at Troppau and Brno. The Minister of the Interior would also shortly appoint four Germans as district governors in the neighbourhood of the Czecho-German frontier.
