Benes Looks! To Day Of Reckoning
The Old Borders..
LONDON, May 1 (Router)—The prime necessity of a constructive settlement at the end of the present war in order to avoid still another European war was stressed by Dr Eduoard Benes, the Czech President, in an interview published in the Dutch newspaper, "Vrij Nederland," te-day.
Hitler, states Dr Benes, no longer controls events; the German dictator is driven or dragged along by his own war machine. He must act but his acts cannot change his inevitable fate-defent,
"The Germans must go back to the old borders-the borders before the invasion of Austria,
Long Armistice
"I believe in long armistice of two or three years in which all would be regulated that arose from the war so as to make the final pence con- structive."
Dr Benes declares that the Sude- tenland will again become part of Czecho Slovakia but Europeall, American and Russian aid is desired i in organising the final settlement.
