Prague quarters believe that Herr Hitler's speech will end all hopes of negotiations. "We are not worried but prepared," is the Czech reaction.

The immediate feeling in responsible quarters in London is that Hitler's speech has done nothing to alter the situation for the better. ODDS AGAINST WAR

London, Sept. 12.

The odds against war have lengthened, and bankers are awaiting the arrival of £250,000 of German gold, which will swell the total from Germany in the past five weeks to £4,500,- 000,--United Press.

Prague, Sept. 13. Quarters close to President Benes said that he considered that Herr Hitler's speech may call a halt to the negotiations.

"The speech is intended to intimidate, but the effect is quite the contrary. We are not worried but prepared."

It is said thai he declared the negotiations to be "empty politieal chatter."

Geneva Reaction

Geneva, Sept. 12. League circles consider that Herr 1ler's speech has not been helpful or constructive in its effect on the international situation.

Is uncompromising attitude to Czecho-Slovakia and his reiteration of his intention to assist the Sudeten- Gumans had made a bad impression here.
