CULMINATION OF CRISIS
EARLIER THAN EXPECTED
SURPRISE AND STUPEFACTION
(Received September 28, 2 p.m.)
LONDON, September 28
The news from Germany that 2 p.m. today was zero hour came as a complete surprise to the Press and public throughout Britain and France. It was thought that the crisis would como on Saturday."but now according to "The Times'" Berlin correspondent the time limit for acceptance has been fixed for 2 p.m. today in order that the Czech army in the event of acceptance could quit the Sudeten areas by October 1. The world overlooked the difference between acceptance or non-accept-ance and, in event of acceptance, the accomplishment of the exodus. Thus the world faces the culmination of the crisis a few hours hence instead of on Saturday. A message from Paris states: "The report that Hitler has advanced the time limit was received here with something like stupefaction, even by well-informed circles."
