M. Cermak, the Slovak Minister, resigned yesterday morning because he con-. sidered the Government pro- posals in regard to the Slovak autonomist demands inade- quate.
The new Cabinet is moderate: and if anything marks a move towards the right. It is believed, however, that it will not be long- lived. Reuter.

The new Czech Foreign Minister is leader of the Agrarian group and the fact that he has been chosen for this post is regarded here as indicating that the rump state de- sires to strengthen its position by: seeking closer relations with Ger- many.
It should be pointed out that Dr. Chavalkovsky held for some con- siderable time the post of Czecho Slovak Minister in, Berlin.
FRESH POSTS CREATED Significance also attaches to the creation of two new Ministries: Dr. Sokol, hitherto general secre- tary of the Hlinka Party, has en- tered the Cabinet. as Minister for Slovakia, while Dr. Parkany is the first to hold the post of Minister for Carpathian Russia.
new
Dr. Sokol belongs to the Radical wing of the Hlinka Party, and hence his entry into the Cabinet must be regarded as point- ing to further concessions to the Slovaks.
General Syrovy has also included. in his new Cabinet two army gen- erals, one of them being General Húsarek, which rather suggests that Czecho Slovakia will continue in the interim to be governed by a sort of military dictatorship. Trans-Ocean..
