NEAR REVOLT
THE SUDETENS RUNCIMAN REPORT UNFAIR TREATMENT SYMPATHY EXPRESSED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received September 20, G. 35 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 20 In a letter to Mr. Chamberlain on September 21, Viscount Runciman, who went to Prague to mediate in the Czech-Sudeten dispute, said: "I have much sympathy with the S'udetens' case. I have the impression that the Czechs' rule in the last 20 years, although not actively oppressive and certainly not terroristic, was marked by tactlessness, lack of understanding, petty intolerance and discrimination to, a point at which the German population was moving toward revolt. "The Sudetens felt little or no action had been taken to implement the Czechs' many promises." Lord Runeiman recommended the withdrawal of the unpopular Czech .State police to reduce the cause of wrangles, also that, where the Sudetens are in an important majority, they should immediately be given the full right to self-determination.
