Question of Minorities
(Received 1.0 p.m.) LONDON, September 28. An authoritative Czech statement points out that whereas France and Britain proposed cession of territory containing 382,000 Czechs, Herr Hitler demanded territory containing 836,000 Czechs. At least 450 communes therein are purely Czechs. It is also pointed out that the German demand for plebiscites, which could be arranged to swamp Czech votes, was made regarding 19 areas, in which the highest German percentage is 29. Three have German percentages of 18.8, 18 and 17.9 respectively. One has 11.1 per cent, and two eight per cent. The remainder have lower percentages, eight below two per cent. Altogether these districts have 1,116,000 Czechs and 144,000 Germans.
