Gus stream of motor trucks .rumbled
through Berlin and eastern sections
of Germany today, rushing troops tr
al undisclosed destination. Germany
apparently was getting ready for the
final act in the. Czech drama.
The movement in Berlin, where
trucks requisitioned from commercial

typical of what was reported through
out Germany, especially in eastern sec
tons, including Austria, which sur
rounds CzechosloVakia's western end.
Chancellor Hitler hastened to Codes
berg, where he was scheduled to as
sumo the role of protector of Czecho-
slovakia's German, Hungarian and
Polish minorities in a second meeting
with Prime Minister Chamberlain OF
Great Britain tomorrow.
In German eyes, it wakes no diff
ference whether the Prague govern
ment consents to or opposes partition
of Czechoslovakia
Reinforced by Polish and Hungar-
ian assurances that those countries
were prepared to fight for annexation
of their minorities in zechoslovakia,
Germany left the little republic but
two choices-capitulat or annihi-
lation by force. The phrase, Ger
many cannot wait longer and will not

this week on the critical European
