Leaves from the

Sudeten Family Tree

WHO, where and why they are the Sudetens?:

Let us take a look at them and see how they

live and what sort of people they are.

Think of the western plece of Czechoslovakia as a basin. It

Is plumb in the middle of Europe-the saine distance from each of the four seas.

Round three sides of this basin are clustered the Sudetens. On the steep and rugged hills they have built up their towns

and villages.

It is a land of castles, of well- made, coffee and whipped cream, of sloping pine forests. There are tall cascading water- falls and here and there a group of blue lakes.

Because it is all so beautiful, young Sudetens who claim to like Hitler and hate the Czechs Bay that they could kiss the Czech frontier guards when they come back from abroad. They are so pleased to be home. The climate is very much like that in England. The tempera- In the ture is not too warm.

higher valleys there is a great deal of rain. Sudetens who go to Prague usually complain of the heat.

Among the valleys are the fac-

tories and mines. The Industrial

workers. chiefly

The Czech, living out in the middle of the basin, do most of the

farming.

That is one source of trouble. What we call the town v. country

quarrel becomes in Czecho-Slovakia Just another side of the Gennan v.

Czech quarrel.

Mining and textiles and other heavy Industries employ many Budetons. These industries were hit hard in the slump-making „Sudetenland a distressed ares. An-

other source of trouble.

How did the Budetens get there? Have they always been there?

In pra-Christian times there were certainly Germans there. But later they moved away.

From about 500 AD. the Czechs were masters of the country, which bo- gan to be known as Bohemia. One of their greatest rulers was Good King Wenceslas, who was mur-

·dered-in-035,

It was round about 1200 that the Germans really started coming back. They settled in very much the same places where they are to- day and came because of the de- mand for miners.

From 1200 right,up to the present Linie the boundary between Bohemia and Germany has been the same. The Bohemian Ger- mana were never part of Germany.

Many English people know about the old Bohemian kingdom be- cause blind King John of Bohemia fought at the battle of Crocy., When he was killed, the Black Prince, to show his reapcet, took King, John's motto Ich Dien," It has been the motto of

of Princes af Wales over since.

that the mian basin,

present German-Czech problem started:

The Sudeten Nazi movement first grew in the extreme western end of Czech territory. Round Eger and Asch the people are great strapping creatures, differ- ent from the smaller, darker, Aner-featured Budetens farther north.

They have always been very pan- German, anti-Czech, anti-Jewish. It was from them that the move- ment spread to other Sudeten arcas

It is not true to think that the Budeten arcas are solidly pro-Hiller. They include about 4,000,000 people. Half a millon of these are Czechs and three and a halt million åre Sudeten Germans. Half a million of the Germans are opponents. of Henlein.

So roughly one million people In the Sudeten areas are anti- Henlet and about three million are pro.

Naturally the two populations There are are very mixed up. many Czech pockets in German areas and many German pockets in Czech areas. There are also many towns and villages where there are plenty of Czechs and Germans living side by side.

With all this mixing of the races. there has been a great deal of Intermarriage. In many districts the race problem has become such a Jumble that it would be im- possible to try to say who uro Czechs and who are Germans.

HUMOUR IN YOUTH HOSTELS

a three weeks' tour of the DURING

Scottish youth hostels I heard some amusing tales.

Early one morning, soon after: leaving a hostel, a hiker saw a tramp. sitting beside a little stream, rub- bing the soles of his socks with a tallow candio. "Why are you doing that?" he asked. Because it makes me light-footed." rejoined the trop. An excellent pun and a tip welf worth knowing.

One English hosteller at Auch- terawe, near Fort Augustits, bought seme, milk at a nearby cattage late in the evening, just after milking Gime, and he was served with the. fresh, warm milk. Next morning. when he called for a fresh supply. be said. "Please don't heat the milk this time."

The fishing is very good in the sea-water

lochs of Ross-shire, and many-hikers hire 's boat for an evening's fishing. In Upper Loch Torridon. one Asher hooked and

landed a fish almost three feet in length, but the boatman told him it we not good for eating. So holding his huge ash, he had his photo taken, and then went to the hostel store and bought a tin of sardines for supper.

In une hostel in Ross-shire, the warden has collected a lot of money for the Hostels Association by sing- ing songs and taking a collection. A young English lady asked him to sing "The Bonnie Banks of Lock Lo mond," but he declined. "No," he said, "It's been murdered so often that it must have been written by Crippen.",

An English cycllat told an amuring tate of the Lake District. An Ameri-2,3- cun visitor to the lakes was telling a Cumberland farmer about the wonderful crops grown in America. "That's nowt," replied the former "I raind a crop of turnips that were grown on the other side of the inke. It's guid grund there, an' wi' heavy muckin' (manuring) and wide thin- nin' oat, the crop was astonishing. Folks cam' frao far an' near the sce em.
