CONCERNED

LONDON, September 30,

The Munich correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that the majority of Germans ise not concerned whether Herr Hitler has given way, but are only interested in the fact that war was averted. This is attributed solely to the Anglo-French intervention. Better-informed Nazis are crestfallen, believing that Herr Hitler has conceded more than England and France.

A message from Berlin states that the commander-in-chief, General yon Brauchitsch, issued a proclamation to the army, saying: "Our troops will enter the liberated territory with happy pride in being the heralds of German discipline and order, and henceforth the instrument of its supreme commander, in offering their German brothers the strong protection of German arms."

It was officially announced after a meeting of the International Commission agreed on at Munich that the members discussed the evacuation of Zones 1 and 2 and details for ensuring the smooth execution of the agreement A Prague message says that M. Jaksch, leader of the German Social Democrats, is directly appealing to Britain not to abandon Democrats and Jews in the Sudeten areas, 100,000 of whom have already reached the interior. He says: "Surely Britain will feel morally bound to rescue those who otherwise will have nothing to expect but torture and death at the hands of their new masters."

The Rome correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" states that Signor Mussolini's train was nearing Rome when Mr. Chamberlain announced the agreement recognising that Anglo-Ger-man . relations are most important to Europe. It is noteworthy, the correspondent remarks, that Mr. Chamberlain stated that the agreement was known to and approved by the French. Italian opinion is that the declaration indicates the development of friendship between Britain and Germany and possibly the weakening of the RomeBerlin axis.

The "Daily Telegraph" says it is understood that a brigade of Guards, under the command of Brigadier Thorne. has been warned to stand, by in readiness to proceed to Czechoslovakia to assist in maintaining order during the transition period.
