An interview by its special correspondent with the Czech Premier, Dr. Hodza was published yes- terday by the "Paris Soir."
Dr. Hodza said first that his initial conversation with Herr Henlein was informative in charac- ter. Czech-Slovakia was determined to go very far along the way to reconciliation.
He said that he believed that the existing difficulties could be regul- ated before Autumn, that plans to this effect had been worked out.
The question of Czecho-Slovakia's foreign policy was declared by Dr. Hodza to be European in character.

CIVIL SERVICE POSTS As for the projected Nationalities Statute, the Sudeten Germans form 22 per cent. of the total population of Czecho-Slovakia and this per- centage of posts in the Civil Service Other would be allotted to them. Ethnic groups would likewise be considered in proportion to strength.
The "Paris Soir" states that this conversation took place after the report of Herr Henlein's talk with Mr. Ward-Price was published, so that it may be assumed that Dr Hodza's declarations to the "Paris Soir" are an answer to Herr Kon- rad. Henlein.-Trans-Ocean.

Inspector Saunders said the motor car was completely on the wrong side of the road and collided the tracks of an with the taxi on east-bound tram car. A minute later, the tram car came from the west and ran into the taxi, com- pletely wrecking it.
