THE SUDETEN CASE
SYMPATHY BY LORD RUNCIMAN
LONDON, September 29. Lord Runciman's impressions of Czech rule in the Sudeten areas, given in a letter to Mr. Chamberlain on September 21, are revealed in the White Paper publishing the correspondence relating to the Godesberg proposals. "I have much sympathy with the Sudeten case," stated Lord Ruhchnan. "I have the impression that Czech rule during the last 12 years, although not actively oppressive and certainly not terroristic, is marked by 'tactlessness, lack of understanding, petty intolerance and discrimination to the point at which the German population is moving towards revolt. The Sudetens feel that little or no action has been taken to implement the Czechs' many promises."
Lord Runciman recommended that the withdrawal of unpopular Czechs from the State police would reduce the cause of wrangles, and also that where the Sudetens were an"important majority they should immediately be given the full right of self-determina-tion.
