CZECHOSLOVAKIA
NAZI DEMANDS REFUSED [BY' CABLE —PRESS ASSN.—COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, April. 27. The' Czech Cabinet decided that it was unable to accede to the Henlein Party’s demands, as a basis of nego-tiations.-However, the Cabinet agreed that the Prime. Minister (Dr. Rodza) should offer to open negotiations with the Sudeten leader (Herr Henlein) on modified terms. The principal obstacles to an understanding, says the Prague correspondent of “The Times,” 'are the avowal of National Socialism by the Sudeten Germans in a country which has a democratic constitution, and the attempt to alienate Czechoslovakia from her friends and allies, which would subject her entirely to German influence. All Herr Henlien’s other demands are capable of adjustment, including the language difficulty, but it is emphasised that the Czechs cannot be expected to change the country’s foreign policy at the behest of what after all, is but a fifth part of her population.
