settled in . spirit Of equity without
resort to force"
Although Mr.. Roosevelt's message
was dispatched originally only to
Germany, Czechoslovakia, Great Brit
ain and France, Secretary Hull later
instructed American representatives
to give copies Of 1t to the Hungarian
and Polish governments also.
Two Significant Points.
Hitler's speech was followed closely
by officials here. State Department
aides listened to the broadcast and
gave Secretary Hull their reactions.
1t was learned that oficials con-
sidered especially significant these
two points:
/. That Hitler did not close the
way for further negotiations prior to
the October deadline he has set
for surrender Of the Sudetenland to
Germany.
2. That Hitler remarked that 600,-
900 Germans had left Czechoslovakia
because they were starving. It was
observed that the chancellor's final"
proposal to Prague would permit him
to send these Germans into Czecho-
slovakia to vote in any plebiscite.
Comment From Congress.
Some members of Congress who
heard Hitler's speech interpreted it Is
a prelude to war.
1T looks to me as if it means
inevitable war;" said Senator Logan,
Democrat, Of Kentucky.
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah,
described the speech as "an hysterical
outbreak"
Senator Borah of Idaho, ranking
Republican on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, was less critical
Of Hitler, who threatened to take
territory from Czechoslovakia by force
If it were not handed over.
LET them settle it among them
selves" Senator Borah said. "They are
the cnly ones who can"
Other comment:
Representative Ludlow, Democrat, Of
Indiana-"In my judgment, Hitler still
is leaving the door open for negotia-
tions. was rather impressed that he
was falling back on his original
agreement and would be satisfied with
that"
Senator Holt, Democrat, Of West
Virginia-"I don't want to express an
opinion on what it means because ]
feel there is no reason for America
getting involved, even though the in
ternationalists want to involve U.s."
Senator Miller, Democrat, Of Ar
kansas-"From the little I heard of his
speech it appeared to me he was try
ing to find an excuse for attacking
Czechoslovakia."

LONDON, Sept. 27.-The tert Of
the Czechoslovdk governments note
rejecting Chancellor Httler's Su-
dentenldnd demands, Which ,Dds
handed to the British foreign secre-
tary, Vtscount Halitar. BY the Czech
Minister to London, Jan Masdryk,
last Sunday afternoon:
My government has instructed me
just now, In view Of the fact that
French statesmen are not arriving in
London today, to bring to his majesty's
notice the following message without
delay:
(The French statesmen arrived
later.)
The Czechoslovak people have shown
. unique discipline and self-restraint
In the last few weeks, regardless Of
the unbelievably coarse and vulgar
campaign Of the controlled German
press and radio against Czechoslovakia
and it, leaders, especially President
Benes.
His majesty's and the French gov
ernments are very well aware we
agreed under MOST severe pressure to
the so-called Anglo-French plan for
ceding parts Of C7echoslovakia. We
accepted this plan under extreme
duress.
We had not even time to make any
representations about its many un-
workable features.
Nevertheless, we accepted 1t becauae
we understood 1t was the end of de-
mands to be made upon US and be-
cause 1t followed from Anglo-French
pressure that these two powers would
accept responsibility for our reduced
frontiers and would guarantee us their
support in the event Of our being
feloniously attacked.
The vulgar German campaign con-
tinued.
While Mr.. Chamberlain was at
Godesberg, the following message was
received by my government from his
majesty's and French representatives
at Prague:
I'VE have agreed with the French
government that the Czechoslovak gov
eminent be informed that the French
and British governments cannot con-
tinue to take responsibility Of advising
them not to mobilize"
My new government headed by Gen.
Syrovy declared they accept full re-
sponsibility for their predecessors de-
cision to accept stern terms Of the So
called Anglo-French plan.

Against These Nex Cruel Demands Ny Government

return Of Mr.. Chamberlain from
0odesberg, . new proposition was
handed by his majesty's Minister in
Prague to my government with the ad-
ditional Information that his majesty's
government Is acting solely As an in
termediary and Is neither advising nor
pressing my government in any way.
Mr.. Krofta, in receiving the plan
from the hands Of his majesty's Min
lister In Prague. assured him the
Csechoshovak government will study it
In the same spirit in which they have
co-operated with Britain and France,
hitherto.
My government now has studied the.
document and map. It is q de facto
ultimatum Of the sort usually presented
to . vanquished nation and not q
proposition to . sovereign state which
has shown the greatest possible readi-
ness to make sacrifices for appeasement
Of Europe.
Not the smallest trace of such readi-
ness for sacrifices has yet been mani
tested by Mr.. Hitler's government. My
government Is amazed at the con-
tents Of the memorandum. The pro-
posals 60 far beyond what we agreed
to in the so-called Anglo French plan.
They deprive Is Of every safeguard
for our national existence. We are to
yield up large proportions of our care
fully prepared defenses and admit
German armies deep into our country
before We have been able to organize
it on new basis or make any pre-
partitions for its defense.
Our national and economic inde-
pendence would automatically disap-
pear with acceptance Of Herr Hitler's
plan.
The whole process Of moving the
population Is to be reduced to panic
and flight on the part of those who
will not accept the German Nazi
regime. They have. to leave their
homes without even the right to take
their personal belongings or even, in
case Of peasants. their cows
My government wished me to declare
in all solemnity that Hitler's demands
in their present form are absolutely
and Internationally unacceptable to
my government.
Against these new cruel demands,
my government feels bound to make
their utmost resistance, and We shall
do 50. God helping US.
We rely upon the two greastest
Western Democracies, whose wishes we
have followed much against our own
judgement, to stand by us in our hour
of trial.

Of the elementary rights Of the su-
deten Germans.
"On the contrary, 1t attempted to
bring about the Czechisation OF the
Sudetenland with ever more forceful
methods.
1T was inevitable that this pro-
cedure led to ever greater and more
serious tension.
"The German government at first In
nowise inteffered with this develop
ment and maintained its calm restraint
even when, in May Of this year, the
Czechoslovak government proceeded to
mobilize its army on the pretext, man.
ufactured Of pure cloth, that German
troops had been concentrated.
THE fact that Germany at that
time refrained from taking military
counter-measyres has merely served,
however, to strengthen the intransi-
geance OF the government in Prague.
The progress Of negotiations by the
Sudeten German party with the gov
eminent for q peaceful solution clearly
showed this.
"These negotiations brought definite
proof that the Czechoslovak govern.
ment had no idea Of tackling the Sude-
ten German problem really from its
very foundation and to bring 1t to .
Just solution.
AS consequence, conditions in the
Czechoslovak State, Is Is generally
known, have become entirely insuffera-
BILE during the last weeks.
Political persecution and economic
suppression have plunged the Sudeten
Germans into unspeakable misery.
TO characterize these conditions 1t
Is sumcient to refer to the following:
At this moment we count 214,0O0
Sudeten German fugitives who had to
leave their house and hearth in their
ancestral homeland and who brought
themselves into safety across the Ger
man border because they saw therein
the only and last possibility for evading
the revolving Czech regime of force and
bloodiest terror.
Countless dead, thousands Of in
jured, tens Of thousands of persons
arrested and imprisoned, desolated
villages are the accusing witnesses be-
fore world opinion Of an outbreak of
hostilities carried out for . long time
by the Prague government, which you
In your telegram rightly fear.
Economic Life Destroyed.
Entirely aside from the German
economic life in the Sudeten German
territory, for 20 years systematically
destroyed by the Czech government,
which already shows al the signs of
ruin, which you anticipate as the re-
suit Of an outbreak Of war, these are
the facts which compelled me in my
Nurnberg speech Of September Is to
state before the whole world that the
deprivation Of rights Of the three and
one-half millions of Germans In
Czechoslovakia must be stopped and
that these people If they Of them
selves cannot find justice and help,
must receive both from the German
Reich.
However, to make . last attempt to
reach the goal in . peaceful way, I
made concrete proposals for the solu-
ton Of the problem in . memorandum
delivered on September 23 to the
British premier, which, in the mean
time has been made public.
"Since the C1echoslovakian govern
ment had previously declared itself Al
ready to be In agreement with the
British and French governments that
the Sudeten German settlement area
would b separated from the C1echo-
slovakian state and Joined to the Ger

must decline every responsibility Of the
German people and its leadership II,
contrary to all my efforts to date, fur
ther developments should actually
lead to an outbreak of hostilities.
In order to form correct judgment
concerning the Sudetic problem now
under discussion 1t is indispensable
to direct thoughts to events in which
in the last analysis the origin Of these
problems and their dangers are rooted.
Betrayed At Versailles.
'The German people in the year
1918 put down their arms in the faith
that the conclusion of peace with the
opponents at that time would bring
q realization of the principles and
ideals which were solemnly proclaimed
by President Wilson and Just as
solemnly accepted by all the powers
at war as binding upon them.
Never in history has the faith Of
the people been more disgracefully
betrayed than happened then and the
conditions Of peace forced upon the
vanquished nations in the suburbs Of
Paris CVersailles) has fulfilled none
Of the promises given.
ION the contrary they created a
political regime in Europe that re-
duced the vanquished nations to
Pariahs, stripped of all rights, and that
was recognized from the beginning by
all judicious persons as untenable.
Zone Of the points which most
clearly revealed the character Of the
dictates Of 1919 was the founding Of
the Czechoslovak state and the fixing
Of its boundaries without in any way
taking into account history or ma
tionality.
Wilson's Principles Denied.
"Sudetenland, too, was included in
1t, although this region has always
been German and although its inhabi-
tants unanimously declared their de-
sire for anschluss (union) with the
German Reich after the destruction
Of the Hapsburg monarchy.
THUS the right of self determine
ton that was proclaimed by President
Wilson as the most important founda-
ton for national life was simply de-
MED the Sudeten Germans.
But that was not enough.
In the treaties Of 1919 certain OBJ
legations, which according to their
wording were very far-going, were
imposed upon the Czechoslovak state
as regards the German racial ele-
ment.
From the very beginning these OBJ
legations were not kept.
THE League Of Nations failed COM
pletely to carry out the task assigned
to it, namely, to guarantee the fulflll-
ment Of these obligations.
Since then Sudetenland has been
engaged in heaviest combat for the
preservation Of its Germandom.
1T was q natural and unavoidable
development that after the German
Reich regained its strength and Aus
tria was reunited with 1t that pressure
of the Sudeten Germans increased for
maintaining their culture and for be-
coming closely associated with Ger
many.
Differences Grew.
Despite the loyal attitude Of the
Sudeten German party and It's leaders,
the points ut issue between them and
the C1echs became ever more pro-
nounced.
From day to day 1t became more
clearly evident that the government In

both Louis and Schmeling, expect

title.
Jack Sharkey, third member oi

who've tackled both principals
says he has shifted suddenly from
Louis to uncertainty. ..
PASTOR LIKES MAX
Bob Pastor, one of the few
fighters besides Schmeling to es
cape a knockout at the hands OF
Louis since the current champion
enormously came to be known az
the "Superfighter," fatty picks the
German to score a knockout inside
of seven rounds, and thus improve
on his triumph of two years ago
On the other occasion, Schmeline
required IL rounds to club Louis
lSenSeleSS.
Baer, who knocked out
Schmeling in 10 rounds in 1898
and was knocked out by Louis
in four rounds in 1885, said 'it'S
tough to pick a winner of that
fight, but you can bet your boots
it's going to be a rough and
tumble affair where everything
can happen"
The former champion then
adds, quite surprisingly, that
Schmeling hits harder t h a n
Louis, but that all that Of Louis
punches hurt. Louis, Baer said, is
the faster puncher and the better
boxer and therefore should win.
IF Louis is smart he will
watch that right hand OF
Schmeling's because it packs
dynamite" Baer said.
ONE FOR LOUIS
Joe Louis will knock out
Schmeling," said Thomas who
was knocked out by both in
recent months-by Louis in five
rounds and by Schmeling in
eight rounds.
Joe has everything on Max

Louis beat me, I offered to bet

ling. That offer still stands. No

To Beat In
N. A. Test
QUALIFY TODAY
Thirty Local Pros Seek
Three Positions |
In Section |
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

With four places allotted to the
Middle Atlantic territory by the
Professional Golfers Association of
America for its championship tour
nament at Shawnee-on-Delaware
next month, 80 or more of the
pick of our local professionals teed
off in the 36-hole qualifying rounds
at Five Farms, near Baltimore, to-
day. The cold indifference that
marked the qualifying test at In
dian Spring for the national open
was missing. The men all want
to play at Shawnee.
All three of the local maShie
wielderS who qualified for the
Denver jouSt are at the first tee
today. Lewis WorSham, jr., the
I20-year-old lad of Chevy Chase who
made the trip to Denver, is ready
TO prove that his fine golf at In
clan Spring was not due to acci-
dent. Bob Barnett senior profes-
slonal at Chevy Chase, whose II
was matched by Worsham, started
his battle with par, and the tall,
angular John Bass, of Baltimore,
also was on the scene of action.
Witty Cox, master of Congress
Sional, will make his first start
since returning from the winter
swing. Cox has played fewer than
a dozen rounds since returning
from Florida, but he is hopeful of
being one of the four who will
make the grade. Cox had a II at
Burning Tree on Wednesday, de-
spite the fact that he went over
par on four holes. A generous
sprinkling of brides brought him
one under standard figures for
the l8 holes.
WIFFY READY FOR FRAY
Cox played Columbia yesterday,
shooting the first nine in 50, but
his inward tour was somewhat er-
ratio. 1t was only the famous Cox
ability to recover that saved the
situation. On the fifteenth, for
instance, he half topped an ap-
proach from a hanging lie and
Slithered over the green into the
clover. But a deadly niblic chip
lay stone dead and Witty smiled.
Il hope to qualify today" piped
Witty as he waited on the six
teenth tee for his companions to
drive. Il haven't played a great
deal of golf, but 1 guess I'll be all
right"
1t goes without saying that Bob
Barnett will take a lot of beating
at Five Farms today. This soft.
spoken veteran is on his game,
and that is good enough for any.
