GOVERNMENT
HEADS AGREE
AS TO CRISIS
French, British Leaders in
Accord Hitler Demands
Must Be Met
NEGOTIATION BASIS
ARE OUTLINED
(By United Press)

Great Britain and France ca
pitulatcd today to Adolf Hitler's
demand for the annexation of the
Sudcten region Of Czcchoslovakia,
but the Czechs, astounded and an
gercd by their betrayal" threat
cncd to fight alone if necessary to
the last man.
The English cabinet of Prime
Minister Chamberlain approved
in principle the Sudetcn anncxa-
ton program as the only way of
avoiding world war.
Hope was expressed for con-
ference by Britain, Germany,
Italy and France to stabilize Eu-
ropcan peace for the future.
Chamberlain was expected to
overcome protests against surren-
der to the NaziS.
In Paris, Premier Daladier'S
cabinet also approved the annex
alton program unanimously after
Daladier reported on the London
Sunday conferences.
The British-French request for
Prague's cooperation was given to
the Czech minister who said he
was a oman convicted without a
hearing"
Berlin reports said that blood
shed was imminent unless the
CZeChS accept.
It was an estimated army of
10000 Sudetens had formed a
"frec corps" to fight the Cxechs,
as many troop movements in Ger
many were reported.
The government at Prague or
dered more reserves to the border
and erected new defense lines.
LONDON, Sept. l9.-(UP)-
The heads of the British and
French governments, after confer
ring more than nine hours over a
conference table on the gravest is
sue that has faced either nation
since the World war, announced
today they had reached complete
agreement" on the course to be
pursued in the Czechoslovaklan
crisis.
There was no official hint as to
what that course might be, but
earlier in the night it was learned
from unofficial sources that both
governments had agreed that a
plebiscite was the only means of
saving Europe from war.
As the conference drew to a
close, with Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain Of Great Britain and
Premier Eduard Daladier of
France as spokesman for their re.
spective governments, it became
apparent that Chamberlain, who
is known to favor aplebiscite, was
winning the French to his point
of view.
The grave question that hung
on everyone's lips-"Will it be
war or peace ?"-was answered
only vaguely in the text Of the
communique, which said:
after full discussion Of the
present international situation,
representatives of the British and
French governments are in COM
plete agreement as to the policy
to be adopted with a view of pro-

and there were no other candl-
dates to oppose Chadwick, who
was with the A.E.F. in Siberia
and has been chairman of the Lc-

Walsh arrived on a special

He favored d change in the eX-

that the discretionary powers IN
vested in the president be re-
voked.
II feel we should have more
strict legislation without the pow
or being left to the executive de-
partment to unintentiOnally AXE
course that might involve US in a

ed in war, it will be entirely our
own fault
