POLAND MASSES 200.000 MEN ON CZECH BORDER: REGARDED AS OMINOUS

London, To-day.

The Polish and Hungarians' demands for equal consideration with the Sudeten Germans in a solution of the minorities controversy have ap- parently had a pronounced effect on official circles here, since the newspapers are practi- cally unanimous in declaring that unless the minorities question is solved completely, com- plications are bound to arise in the near future. The fact that Poland has massed 200,000 troops on the Czech frontier is regarded as an ominous sign.

It is therefore assumed that Mr. Chamberlain will discuss this question with the Fuehrer, al- though it is known that British quarters at least would prefer to keep demands on the Czecho-Slovak state at a minimum, in order ADDED! not to risk driving the people to rebellion and acts of desperation.

GREAT BRITAIN PREPARES FOR EMERGENCY

LONDON, TO-DAY.

That Prague has become a pow- der, cask which might explode at any moment, is indicated by the violent demonstrations, of the past two days by extremist elements; which incidentally are gaining an ever-increasing number of ad- herents.

Fear is also expressed that through the alleged Czech demand for French and British guarantees immediately upon fulfilment of the conditions of the Anglo-French plan, the Government intends to gain a tactical advantage that will then be used against both Poland and Hungary to forestall any at tempts by these countries to gain concessions by force.
