have prevented from speaking in the

pose designated. just as Hyde Park
is in London" the clergymen's state
ment said.

REICH SUPREME,
HITLER'S DEFI
TO PEACE MOVE
Attitude to Chamberlain
Revealed by London

LONDON, Sept. % Q.N.S0.
The desperate efforts Of Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain to
convince Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hit
Ter that his demand for immediate
armed occupation of the Sudeten-
land was unreasonable were re.
vealed in full for the first time
today.
The British government re-
leased a white paper" embodying
the correspondence between Cham
brelain and Hitler at Godesberg.
when their promising peace con.
ference foundered on the rocks OF
the Fuehrer's adamancy.
Under date of september %.
Chamberlain criticized the Ger.
man proposal in these words:
IT do not think you have real
lied the impossibility of my
agreeing to put forward any
plan unless I have reason to sup
pose it will be considered by
public opinion Of the world as
carrying out principles already
agreed upon in an orderly fash
ion, tree from threat Of force"
To this the Fuehrer replied:
IF the former behavior Of the
Czechoslovak government was
brutal, it could only be described
during recent weeks as mad
ness.
"The situation is unbearable
and will now BE- 'erminated by
me.
II can only emphasize that
these Sudeten Germans are not
coming back to the Reich by
virtue of the gracious and be-
nevolent sympathy of other ma
tions, but on the grounds of their
own will, based upon the right
of Self-determination and the
irrevocable decision of the Ger.
man Reich to give effect to this
will.
REICH SUPREME
IT am not prepared to allow.
q territory which must be con-
Sidered as belonging to Germany
to be left without the protection
of the Reich. There is no inter-
national power or agreement
having the right of precedence
over the German Reich.
1T is impossible for us to
refrain from giving immediate
protection to this territory"
Chamberlain's second letter to
Hitler on the 23d asked that mo
action be taken, particularly in the
Sudetenland, by the Reich forces
to prejudice further negotiation
which may be found possible.
This letter suggested that Hitler
Immediately agree to have Reich
representatives meet Czech en-.
voys. Chamberlain declared Brit
ain was willing to have repre-
sentative present if necessary.

Determined not to b e o m e
Europe's battlefield for a second
World War, Belgium has mobi-
lized 100000 men to reinforce her
frontiers against a new invasion
and to prevent, if possible, a
bloody recurrence OF 1914.
Belgium's populace, many Of
whom remembered the four World
War years when their country
was almost completely in the
hands of the German army was
calm in the face Of the threat Of
another conflict.
Premier Paul Spaak in a speech
broadcast to the nation grimly
warned that Belgian terri
tory will not again become the
battlefield of Europe" He praised
the army and said Belgium'S
borders are guaranteed by Britain
and France.
Mobilization of the six classes of
reserves was carried out calmly.
The men seemed in good spirits
and many were brought to their
barracks by helpful motorists. A
number of private cars, motor
cycles and lorries were reported
requisitioned to aid troop move
