Germans in Czechoslovakia

FRESH ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE PROBLEM United Pre33 Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, April 5. The Australian Associated Press Agency understands that the Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia (Dr. M. Hodza) is making a renewed attempt to settle the problems of the Sudeten Germans and will shortly submit proposals to the English and French Governments. It is gathered that his initiative is a sequel to Mr. Neville Chamberlain’s pronouncements in the House of Commons when he expressed the hope that the problem could be settled by friendly mediation between the parties. However, the outcome of the attempt is doubtful since Herr Hitler insists that the Sudeten Germans in common with all other German nationals must come completely under his banner. Meanwhile European Chancelleries are closely watching AfEuieJ, the Nazification of which is proceeding apace. The impression is that Memcl will soon go Austria’s way. RELIEF FOR SUDETENS LONDON, April 5. The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at Prague says that the Government proposes to spend an extra £3,500,000 to provide work in the distressed Sudeten areas and so contribute to Czech-German appeasement.
