CZECH CONSULATES.
HANDED TO GERMANS.
POSITION IN AUSTRALIA
SYDNEY, March 27. Acting under instructions from the Government, the Czechoslovak ConsulGeneral, Mr F. Kveton, handed over his Consulate-General to the German Consul-General, Dr. Asmis, to-day. Czechoslovak Consuls under his jurisdiction were also instructed to hand over their Consulates to the local German Consuls. Czechoslovak Consulates in Australia have therefore ceased to exist.
NOT RECOGNISED BY GOVERNMENT.
SYDNEY, March 27. The Minister of External Affairs (Mr Hughes) said to-day that the handing over of the Czech Consulate to the German Consul-General was not recognised by the Commonwealth Government because the Commonwealth had not recognised the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.
