CZECH GOVERNMENT MAPS
FIRST STEPS AS SEQUEL TO
CRISIS IN NAZIS' DEMANDS
Well-Informed Circles Say
Final Action Hangs on
British, French Discus
sions at London
By REYNOLDS PACKARD

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, Apr.
27.-(UP)-The government was
expected to decide today on its
first steps in the grave political
situation caused by demands of
the German minority for sweep
ing concessions.
Usually well-informed sources
asserted that the cabinet would
meet some time during the day,
in a formal extraordinary session
under President Eduard Benes. 1t
would be the third ministerial
council-the others having been
informal-in the three days since
the speech Sunday night in which
Konrad Henlein, minority leader,
outlined his demands.
1t was expected that the gov
eminent would decide its course
definitely after the conferences
of Premier Edouard Daladier and
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet
Of France at London tomorrow
and Friday.
Premier Milan Hodza probably
will make a radio speech over an
international hookup as soon as
a definite decision has been reach
ed, it was understood.
The official news agency took
occasion today to deny reports
that the cabinet council yesterday
rejected Henlein's demands as a
basis for discussion and decided
that the government should make
its own proposal for solution OF
the minorities problem.
The denial was issued because
government quarters regarded 1t
likely to aggravate the foreign
situation. Government quarters
expressed hope that the denial
would stop unfavorable foreign
criticism and clear the atmosphere
for negotiations with German MI
nority leaders.
Despite the denial that an &C
tual decision had been reached,
however, the United Press was in
formed in an authorized quarter
that the government does regard
some of the Henlein demands as
impossible.
"That does not mean," the in
formant added, that we are clos
ing the door to negotiation. We
want to reach a direct agreement
with the Sudeten Germans but on
" through negotiations with reg
ularly appointed parliamentary
representatives"
