Hitler.
The French Statesmen are to leave

lister, and M. Bonnet, foreign minister.
have accepted the invitation of his
majesty's government to come to Lon
don tomorrow for the purpose Of hear
ing from the prime minister an ac-
count Of his conversations at Codes
berg and for consultation thereon"
Terms Handed to Czechs.
Great Britain earlier laid Germapys
peace terms before the Czechoslok.S
government without an immediate at
tempt to dictate acceptance, and
speeded the country's powerful re-
sources toward a war footing in pace
with other European nations.
Masking his worry behind a smile,
Prime Minister Chamberlain returned
from his historic Godesberg mission
bearing Reichsfuehrer Hitlers demand
for transfer of the Sudetenland Of
Czechoslovakia to Germany by Octo-
Der i.
1T is now up to the Czechs." he said.
In Official Czechoslovak circles to-
night it was said the Fuehrer in his
peace terms had refused to guarantee
the frontiers of the remainder of the
Czechoslovak republic unless Hungary
and Poland also became guarantors.
This was interpreted as being Chan
cellor Hitler's way of dema nding Hun
gary and Poland also be given chunks
Of Czechoslovakia in which their
minorities live.
Peace Price Raised.
Czechoslovak circles said that BY
refusing to guarantee the republics
borders unless Poland and Hungary
joined him, Chancellor Hitler was
raising his price of peace, by implica-
ton, to include satisfaction of tho
Polish and Hungarian minority de.
mands.
Poland and Hungary, the Czechs
said, would not join in any such guar
antee unless their demands for return
OF their minorities were satisfied.
The foreign ONCE gave the memo
randum to Jan Masaryk, Czechoslovak
minister, without comment" as Mr..
Chamberlain called the Inner cabinet"
| into session at 3:35 pm. Two hours
later he summoned the full cabinet,
which met from s. pm. until 7:35 pm.
No communique was issued immedi.
ately, but it was expected Parliament
would be called into session early next
week. The cabinet was called to meet
again at 1890 am. tomorrow.
No indication Of Pressure.
There was no indication tonight that
Britain would exert further pressure
on Czechoslovakia, since the original
IA ShSA pidll, dSSCpOCo NY
Prague under strong urging from Paris
and London, envisaged only transfer
OF the Sudeten regions.
Hitler's offer was relayed to Prague
as final one, but despite this there
was doubt whether Czechoslovakia
would accept it with Gen. Jan Syrovy,
one-eyed military idol, now sitting in
the premier's chair and pushing a
countrywide general mobilization Of
the republics forces.
Tension increased throughout Eu-
rope. Nearly every nation was mob
ilizing. at least in part, Germany
among them. Millions of fighting men
were called to the colors.
The British fleet steamed into STRAIT
egic North Sea positions. some 40 ships
putting out from Invergordon.
Cabinet Hears De la War;.
The British cabinet, celebrating I'M
der terrific pressure, heard what infor-
nation Earl de la War;, lord privy
seal, was able to obtain in Geneva
about possible allies.
If large-scale conflict should,
break out, many believed Germany,
Italy, Poland and Hungary would be
found facing the combined might of
Great Britain, France, Czechoslovakia,
Soviet Russia, Rumania and Turkey.
Prime Minister Chamberlain laid
the results of his peace mission before
