HENLEIN'S INTERVIEW WITH CZECH PRESIDENT WATCHED WITH UNIVERSAL INTEREST

Momentous Meeting In Prague

Will Decide Country's

Fate

London, August 20.

It is reliably learned in London that the Czech President, Dr. Edouard Benes, will rective Herr Henlein. leader of the Sudeten Germans, in Prague today.

The meeting is stated to be one of the utmost importance, and will probably decide the future of negotiations.

If the result of the meeting is favourable, there will be a real possibility of resumed negotiations between, the Czech Government and the Sudeten Germans.

:

If the result a negative. the next step will probably be a declaration by Herr Hitler at the Nuremburg Nazi Congress, when he will probably make certain suggestions.

In order to circumvent any · argument that such a pro- posal constitutes but another altempt on the part of the Czech Government at · pro- crastination, the Prague Gov- ernment will propose an immediate programme of seven points which would go far towards relleying the present alleged disproportion."
