INCIDENTS AS EXCUSE
Prague, Sept. 8. The Sudelen-German Party has accepted the Czech Government's nine-point proposals as basis for further negotiations.
At the same time, however, the Sudetens have decided to break off negotiations because of recent Incidents, especially one in which two Sudeten deputies are alleged to have been brutally beaten by the Police ut Maerisch-Osirou. The Sudetens declared that this incident shows that the Prague Government has not sufficient control of the
situation to. warrant negotiations being conducted in the necessary atmosphere of calm.
A compinint has been addressed to the President, Dr. Edouard Benes, and to the British mediator, Lord Runciman.
The Sudeten Germans have also protested Against the premature publication of the Government's proposals before they had as a party to the negotiations, received their coples.
The decisions were contained in si communiquo issued this evening. In it, after accepting the Government's Í, proposals as a basis for negotiations, the Sudeten leaders have decided to break of discussions and to inform the Premier, Dr. Milan Hodza, that they felt compelled, owing to the Incident at Machrisch-Ostrau, interrupt negotiations.-Reuter.
