evidently in accord with the ex-
pressed wishes of Hitler, sent an "ul-
timatum" to the Prague government
asking that the proclamation be re-
called within few hours. The only
reply was an extension of the mar
tial law DEGREES to still more districts.
More fighting broke out, especially
at Eyer and Schwadenbach, and in
dications that Germany might inter-
vene because ominous enough to be
menacing. Talk of a German war
against Czecho-Slovakia was heard.
Anyone at all conversant with the
situation realized that this would
mean a general European war.
Off to Germany.
Just when the situation threatened
to become unbearably acute, Neville
Chamberlain, British prime minister,
decided to board an airplane and fly
to Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian
Alps-to call on Hitler and ask the
question:: What price peace?
The conversation between the two
gentlemen ended somewhat abruptly
at least, much sooner than had been
expected. Hitler had made his de-
mands. He was infleXible. He would
not yield an inch. ''Take it or leave
it," he said, in effect, to the prime
minister of the mightiest empire on
earth.
And Mr.. Chamberlain "took" it.
He flew back to London, reported
to his king and his cabinet, saying
that Hitler insisted on the ceding,
outright or by plebiscite, of the Sude-
ten territory to Germany. He said
more, for he recommended that this
proposal be accepted. Chamberlain,
in other words, sacrificed Czecho-
Slovakia. Why? Because Great Brit
ain wants peace; because Great Brit
ain is not yet ready to fight war;
because Great Britain desires the
friendship of Germany at almost any
price. And violation of the Czech
land then became the price asked and
accepted.
Conference.
Still swiftly moved events. On
Sunday last the French premier,
Edouard Daladier, and his foreign
minister, Georges Bonnet flew from
Paris to London to talk to Chamber
lain and to the British foreign min
lister, Lord Halifax. Chamberlain
outlined to the others the gist of
Hitler's demands, and after discuss
ing the matter for about II hours
all the conferees agreed that Czecho-
Slovakia must foot the bill of Europe's
peace. This in spite of the fact that
recently both Great Britain and
France had solemnly declared they
would fight for Czecho-Slovakia
should German aggression be at
tempted!
On Monday of this week the decis-
ions of the ministers were communi-
Gated to the cabinet in London and
Paris. They were approved. The fate
of Czecho-Slovakia was sealed by
friends betraying her at the very hour
when enemies threatened to invade
her soil
Prague was to be formally mott
fled that London and Paris had de-
cided that Czecho-Slovakian soil was
to be divided, and Prague was ex-
pected to acquiesce-for the sake of
peace.
But Prague resented the great be-
trayal. The Czechs said that come

Editor Askov American:
Quite ofen when the opposition to
planned economy can find no argu-
ment they point to the situation in
Europe and call to our attention that
Europe has solved its unemployment
problem. To a certain extent the
large European nations have done
this, by large standing armies and
building huge ornaments naturally
there will be little idleness. How
ever, these ornaments will eventually
be used to destroy the people who
produced them. All the people of
Europe have to look forward to is

Gosh, we can pick scrap any time
if we really want to, but to promote
peace we must not take sides, but
rather attempt to get the belligerents
to cease hostilities long enough so that
they can cool off bit and talk things
over. You know one can best get
under the skin of a hard boiled egg
if one will wait little while for it
to cool off.

The American League for Peace and
Democracy surely seems to take in
a lot of territory for being peace
full" organization. In a recent bulle-
tin it covered all entanglements from
the Pacific coast to the Atlantic and
from Spain to China and back to
America 1 wonder how an organiza-
ton can be consistent with the first
part of its name when it advises the
United States government to support
the independence of Czechslovakia;
to support the Spanish loyalists and
then to cap the climax, advocate sup
port of the city-wide strike of de-
partment store workers in San Fran
cisco.

They're doing lot of talking about

their wheat with any relish.

l discovered while at the State Fair,
why it is so difficult to make coopera-
ton successful in this country of ours.
1t is because there is so much sell
fishness in each humans system.
There is great deal of cooperation
in most of us until we get what we
want and so little left after we get it.
You know, we are all something like
the little boy who was asked by a
Sunday school teacher what the story
of the Good Samaritan meant to him.
The canny lad replied: ut means
that when l am in trouble, my neigh
bors must help me-"

My methods of deduction may be
somewhat antiquated, but it is my
idea that peace organization should
be for a general educational program
along the lines of peace promotion
and to be sort of like an umpire at
baseball game, rather than to take
sides. Instead of supporting strike,
gee whiz, it should attempt to advo-
cate principles as a basis for settle
ment of that strike amicably to both
sides, rather than to stir up hatred and
warfare.

consideration of those who were there
to make purchases: How they wanted
them to stand in close so as not to

their purchases and no more people

the flap from right over their heads.

A news item tells us that $4,000
people became impatient for the free
eats which were promised at COP
rally in Pittsburgh during recent
weekend and made greasy mess of
three roasted oxen, $4,000 buns and
$4,000 roastin' ears. They perhaps
were reminded that the two chickens
in every pot failed to materialize the
last time the Republicans were in
power and preferred to get theirs

Well, folks, let's look into the little
game which Hitler is playing over in
Europe. 1t is apparent that he is the
pitcher for he has been warming up
for some time. Evidently England's
Chamberlain is to be the catcher this
inning for he has met Hitler out be-
tween the batter's box and the pitch
ing mound. We, the people, as usual
are the batters. The pitcher and
catcher have talked things over and
now again have taken up their re-
spective positions. Usually when the
pitcher and catcher talk things over
the batter can expect a dark one.
Pitcher Hitler always, so far, has
managed to keep ahead of the batter
and he has two strikes at this stage
of the game. 1t is apparently Hit
ler's game, but there will be time
when he will have an off-day and
then he will be batted from the box
He will possibly go the same as other
good pitchers-good for time-un-
til the batters figure out their style
and then their effectiveness is at an
end
