Germany Does Not
Want Blame
Berlin, Sept. 27. German Government lins Issued a Statement that "in the event of the Germans attempting to force the Czechs to stand by their promise to cede the Sudeten areas, and France feeling I obligatory to assist Czecho- Slovakia, then the consequences will be the result not of German attack- ing the Czechs but of the Czechs'
failure to stand by their word and breaking their pledge."
This is interpreted as a notification that the British and French would
not be justified in resisting a German invasion of Czecho-Slovakia if the invasion was the result of the Czecha failure to deliver up the Sudeten areas to Germany, as they at ዑር stage promised to do--United Press.
