EXPLAINED

Consul's Request For Data on Flights Only Received To-Day

The Telegraph can reveal that a letter was forwarded from the German Consulate in Hong- kong to the Eurasia Aviation Corporation this morning, conveying a request from the Japanese' authorities that Japan be notified fully of the HONGKONG time-tables and routes employed by the Corporation's planes.

The Japanese request was conveyed to the German Consulate in a letter written by Mr. K. Nakamura, Japanese Consul General, on Satur- day morning.

The Telegraph understands that the Japanese consulate's approach to the German authorities was made in conformity with the Foreign Office announcement in Tokyo that steps would be taken to give immunity to commercial planes if, beforehand, the Japanese authorities were notified regarding routes and time-tables.

Henlein Demanding

Swift Satisfaction

Prague, Sept. 5.

Events moved swiftly to-night.

Following a conference at Eger between Herr Konrad Henlein and the Sudeten delegates who have been negotiating with the Czech Government, the Sudeten Party issued a significant communique virtually demanding immediate satisfaction of their claim.

The communique stated that the meeting discussed a number of incidents and happenings that tend to show that the activities of the Czech authorities have not contributed to any relaxa- tion of the tension in the Sudeten region.

"All reports received show that there exists an untenable situation that can only be altered by a prompt and complete realisation of the eight Carlsbad points," the communique continues.
