CZECHO-SLOVAKIAN NEGOTIATIONS GOING ON
London, To-day. An immediate solution of the Czechoslovakian question on a pacific basis, is the crying need of the hour, declares the "Times” in a leader. It would spell the bankruptcy of European politics if nothing could be done to avert Europe from becoming involved in a war over the future of three million Germans of Czechoslovakian na- tionality.

On Monday, President Benes re- ceived the Minister of Railways, M. Bechyne and the Minister of Educa- tion, Dr. Franke, who are members of the Czech Social-Democratic and Czech People's Party, respectively, and yesterday the Minister for the Co-ordination of Legislation, M.
