rebelled today against Anglo

demanding immediate convocation
of Parliament as the cabinets
inner council met at 10 Downing
Street to consider Prague's request
for elucidation and amplification
of the dismemberment proposal.
In a letter to Prime Minister

grave departure in the policy of
this country" particularly with
regard to British guarantees of
Czechoslovakia'S future sov-
