ANXIETY OF CZECHS
is GROWING ACUTE

PRAGUE, CZechoSlOVaKla, aug.
l5.-(UP)-Acute anxiety over
Gelmany's gigantic army maneu-
vers was plainly apparent today.
1t was reflected in a stiffening
of the governments attitude on
the minorities problem and by
forecasts that important decisions
would be taken at meeting OF
the national defense council to-
morrow.
There was Il disposition in most
other capitals to minimize the
significance of the war games
which started at dawn today. But
not here. For one thing, the opin-
ion was expressed that the ma
neuvers might strengthen the
Sudeten German minority party
in its demands for concessions and
particularly that they might -: in
duce Viscount Runciman, British
adviser" in the minorities prob
lem, to urge further concessions
by the government. For another,
people did not welcome the pres
ence of large bodies of troops
near Czechoslovakia.
Quarters close to the ministry
of interior intimated that Premier
Milan Hodza was prepared to
stand firm if the Sudeten German
party attempted to utilize Ger
many's "show of strength" to OBJ
tain maximum concessions in the
minority problem.
Leaders of the six coalition par
ties on which the government de-
ponds for support were emphatic
in their demands that the cabinet
resist any pressure from any
source.
Executives of the Sudeten Ger
man party told the United Press
they did not intend to link any
happenings in Germany with the
minority negotiations. At the
same time they said they would
not consent to negotiate with
members of the government Goa
lition parties and they would in
sist on negotiating with the gov
eminent alone.

Comprchensiv measures were taken
to protect the railroad from competi-
ton before motor and air transport
had time to become vested interests.
The situation. however. Is not easily
understood unless the direct control
exercised by Parliament is explained.
The South African Railways and
Harbors Administration was insti-
tued in the South African consti-
tuition when the four colonies became
the Union Of South Africa in. 1910.
1t combined three government-owned
systems and assumed control of all
harbors. It thus acquired not only
a monopoly of rail transport through
out the union. but, by control OF
harbors, was able to control COMPETE
tion by coast shipping between one
harbor and another.

wholly to its virtues or to it's mo-

perity is due to the expansion of the
gold industry under the stimulus Of
the increased price Of gold in ster-
ling, and the railroad system has
shared in the general expansion and
buoyancy Of business. Seven years
ago, and not for the first time in its
history, the administration was COM
