PRAGUE, CHcchoSIovakla, July
20 UP) Karl II. Frank, par
Iiamcntary leader of the SudctCn
German party, demanded today
that the government at once start
direct negotiations tor solution of
the minOritiCs problem
Implicitly rejecting in advance
Of it's publication. the mnorltlcS
statute which the government has
drafted, Frank said that it met
less than > per cent Of the Ger
man minority's demands.
He expressed suspicion that the
government coalition parties in
tended to force the statute on tho
German minority and commented
that any effort to do so would
cause a dangerous" situation.
Frank, right hand man Of Kon-
rad Henlcin, the supreme German
minority leader, and the parlia-
mcntary chicftain of the minority
party, made a strong plea for rec
ognition of the Brightness of the
Sudeten German demands.
"Our autonomy demands are
misunderstood abroad" Frank
said. For example, the autonomy
Of British dominion like Canada
is far beyond anything we ask.
We want d state of nationali-
ties which belongs to all national
tiles within the state, non-Czcch
nationalities have home here
but they can find no Fatherland.
Czechs form slightly more than
81 per cent Of the population.
This state, therefore, is not pure
ly (Czech) national state. 9th
er races thus have the right to de-
mand corresponding partnership
and to ask for administration of
their own local affairs for them
selves and by themselves"
As he outlined the arguments
Of the Sudeten Germans his par
ty had just made public a memo
randum submitted to the govern
ment June 7, outlining demands.
1t was asserted, in note accom-
panying the demands that the
government at first had accepted
them as d basis for negotiations.
These demands sought complete
reorganization Of the government
tai administration on new nation
al lines. Parliament would be de-
prived Of many of its powers, IN
favor Of popular assemblicS-on"
for each national group in the
country. Proportional representa-
ton was proposed in all branches
of the government for the various
national groups and almost COM
plete self-government except as
regards foreign affairs, defense
and finance. The president of each
popular assembly would be a
member of the government. Cab
met portfolios for education, So
cial welfare and public health
would be abolished and duties at
taching to these offices would be
delegates to the various national
groups. Matters Of common ma
tional and Self-government would
be concentrated in a special de-
partment of the ministry of in
terror or the premicr's office.
