Reuter's representative was informed that the gov- ernment still hopes and believes that such a chance exists, but it depends on:

(1) The extent of reality in the concessions the Czech Govern-

ment is making and is prepared to make;

(2) the extent and nature of the influence which is exerted from

the outside on the Sudeten Germans and;

(3) the spirit in which the Sudetens meet the Czech Government's

proposals.
