Possibility Of Serious Incidents Between Czechs, Sudetens, Not Overlooked

Prague, September, 11.

If Germany takes the Sudeten question into her own 'hands and tries to impose an arbitțary settlement upon Czechoslovakia, it will mean war."

It is generally "felt that the next 48 hours will decide whether Germany will adopt this attitude or whether negotiations: between the Czech Government and the Sudeten German Party are to pro- ceed in peace.

It is pointed out that Germany, cannot use the pretext that the proposals of the Czech Government are inadequate." They have been accepted by the Sudeten ledder, Herr Henlein, as the basis for negötlations and fulfil in principle the eight points of his· Karlsbad speech.

The possibility of some serious incident between Sudeten Germans

and Czechs, consequent upon the animosities fanned by weeks and
