POSITION" OF THE"
SUDETEN GERMANS
Berlin, Oct. 6. Commenting on the statement made by Herr Konrad Henlein, the Leader of the Sudeten German Movement, at the celebration of its 4th anniversary, in which Hen- lein said that the Sudeten Ger- man problem had become a Euro- pean problem, the "Deutsche Diplo- matisch-Politische Korrespondenz" says that in the various memoran- da drawn up in connection with the Versailles Peace Conference, the Germans inhabiting Czechos- lovakia had been expressly pro- mised equality of rights.
The paper goes on to stress that' the documents in question were not drawn up solely by the newly founded Czechoslovakian state. and were thus not exclusively Czechoslovakia's responsibility. No one, the paper states, could main- tain that the conditions under which the Germans are still com- pelled to live in Czechoslovakia, are even remotely corresponding to the prospects held out to them at that time.
