"WE WANT PEACE"

LONDON MARCHERS

CZECH INTIMATION

GONE THE LIMIT IN CONCESSIONS

(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received September 12, 2.20 p.m.) LONDON, September 11. " A crowd marched from the Marble Arch along Oxford Street tonight shouting "We want peace. Death to Hitler." Police escorted the march-j ers, who were orderly. The "Daily Telegraph" says that the Czechs haVe urged on London that they have gone to the limit of concessions in response to demands from London and that therefore they consider Britain has assumed definite responsibilities. They ask what assurances can be expected. No reply has been returned so far. The Nuremberg correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that President Benes's speech is compared by Nazis to the farewell speech of Dr. Schuschnigg, former Austrian Chancellor. Because they miss the note of exaggerated nationalism to which they are accustomed from their own leaders, they regard it as weak. The correspondent of the British United Press. says it is reliably reported that Herr Hitler shares this view. The Nuremberg correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" also says that Nazi officials refuse to envisage the possibility of war against Britain, and point out that Herr Hitler has always known how far to go without bringing on war. The Rome correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that Italy apparently shares British and French anxiety, though official sympathies are with Germany and Herr Henlein's demands. The Vatican organ "Osservatore Romano" says that the situation, despite negative elements, encourages optimism. British diplomacy has cleared the air and served the cause of peace. The Fascist Press dismissed President Benes's broadcast as a harangue in favour of democracies.
