Belgrade, Oct. 4.

The correspondent in Prague of the paper "Politika" reports that General Syrovy will probably form a new Cabinet of national concen- tration. The formation of a new.

Cabinet in Prague, says the corTM respondent, is necessary because the present Cabinet was consti- tuted with a view to the Imminent outbreak of war, and its composi-. tion does not correspond to the new situation resulting from the Munich conference.

SLOVAK ULTIMATUM

The same correspondent states that the ultimatum presented on Monday. as previously reported, to President Benes by the Slovak Minister on behalf of the Slovak People's Party expired on Tuesday at noon and that the executive committee of the Party had been summoned to meet at Schilina next Thursday to consider what further steps should be taken.

CHINA WAR RELIEF

(Continued from Page 1)

Nor were we slow in responding LC the needs of various army groups. private hospitals and ciyllian relief bodies to whom we gave what we could afford. The total value of these supplies aggregates more than $8,000,000, I do not believe there is a single country in the world that has not. given something to us.

VITAL SOURCE

The Chinese Red Cross is not, a government Institution and there fore depends for the proper func- tloning of its activities upon charitable donations from the public. That, its feld work has been able to be organised, carried out and enlarged has been due to the wonderful response of over- seas Chinese and sympathisers throughout the world, especially the Chinese in the Netherlands East Indies. It is hoped that nothing wii interfere with this source of income, so vital to the cause of medical relief among our wounded heroes."
