A hint that broader Euro

Poland Drives Hurried Bargain for
Slice Of CzechosIovakia; Fades as
Potential Ally of Germany

Casimir Pagee, Polish minister,
handed the note to President
Eduard Benes at Prague this NOR
ming. Its contents were secret.
The Silesian Poles constituted the
smallest of the minority races in
Czechoslovakia, of which the g.
100000 Sudeten Germans were the
largest Nevertheless, Poland's de-
mand for custody Of this minority
had placed it potentially alongside
Germany and Hungary in claims
against this war-born republic i'm.
periling the peace of Europe.
An official communique said last
night that President BeneS of
Czechoslovakia had notified Pres
ident Moscicki that he agreed with
Poland's demands for ter% torial
revision.

Press control was invoked for
the first time since the crisis be-
gan when the government seized
todays issue of the newspaper Lib
erte containing a proclamation by
Pierre Etienne Flandin which said
French people, you are being de-
ceived.'
1t said the facts regarding the
situation were being withheld and
F'renchmen should not fight for
CZechoslovakia.
Workmen closed the Louvre and
all other national museums and
moved their art treasures out OF
range of enemy bomberS.
Here the situation seemed to be
growing more tense and war prep
arations were accelerated. The fin
ance ministry published decree
permitting delays in certain cate
gorieS of commercial debts. Court
prosecutions for debt were not
ruled out and it was stressed that
the decree did not imply a mora
torium.
Nowhere was the crisis more en-
phasized than at the world famed
Louvre, where Workmen were hur-
riedly carting away masterpieces
of antique sculpture and bronze,
medieval and renaissance painting,
exposed to the peril of new war
bombs.
Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa
and Virgin of the Rocks; the Venus
De Milo; works of Rembrandt, Mi
chelangelo, Goujon, Titan and
Raphael, the winged Victory" of
ancient Greece and antiquities
from ancient Egypt were carried
from Louvre. Elsewhere, 5000 men,
bers of the organization for the

worked furiously to save for future
civilization the treasures that a

The Czechs have not been invit-

interests.
The dramatic chain of events
which averted an immediate war
began at the White House in WASH
ington shortly before 10 o'clock last
night.
1t was the early hours of the
morning in Europe.
President Roosevelt's suggestion
for a European conference, cabled
to Hitler stirred the German chan
celery into quick action.
The suggestion went to London.
From there it sped to Paris and
Rome.
For the first time, Mussolini be-
came directly involved in the nego-
tiations hitherto conducted by Brit
ain alone.
Chamberlain urged Mussolini to
use his influence with Hitler.
II Duce did SO.
Hitler promptly issued the in
vitation for the conference. Accept
ance by all concerned was almost
immediate.
The margin by which an immed-
late explosion was averted was mar
row.
Chamberlain was making his
speech in the House of Commons
revealing that the four power pro-
posal had been made. He did not
know it had been accepted.
Hitler's invitation arrived at the
last moment, during his closing re-
marks.
