STATEMENT DENIED
COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE (Rec., 7 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 5. The Czechoslovak Press Bureau in London points out that the Cairo report which was cabled by the British United Press correspondent imputes to Dr Benes statements which he “could not have made at a gathering of the Czech colony in Cairo.” The bureau categorically denies that Dr Benes issued a statement to the effect that Czechoslovakia and Russia would have common frontiers, or that he said that Marshal Stalin agreed that all Germans should be expelled from the Sudetenland. The bureau also categorically denies the inference that Russia intends to regain and keep Bessarabia and North Bukovina.
The British United Press, referring to the bureau’s denials of Dr Benes’s statement, says: "The Czech spokesman in London admitted that he had not seen a copy of Dr Benes’s statement. and the denial was based on the fact that ‘this is not the sort of thing Dr Benes would say.’ ”
