PRESSING
FOR CZECH PEACE
Britain and France Plan
to Urge Nazis to Cut
Demands.

LONDON. April 3o.-The London
Paris axis. strengthened by a newly
co-ordinated land, air and sea force.
prepared today to exert It's powerful
leverage to bring about a peaceful
solution Of the Sudeten German
problem in Czechoslovakia.
At conclusion Of the two-day con-
ference at which British and French
ministers discussed world problems,
from China to Spain and Central
Europe. it was said the two powers
planned these immediate steps:
l. A British approach to Berlin to
seek a modification of the program
OF Germans subscribing to Nazi prin-
ciples who are making autonomy and
other demands Of the Czechoslovak
government.
2. A conference by Britain and
France with the Czechoslovak govern.
ment at Praha. also for the purpose
OF bringing about a compromise with
the Sudeten Germans led by Konrad
Henlein.
3. If the dangerous Czechoslovak
situation was settled, 1t was said
British Foreign Minister viscount
Halifax would seek the cooperation
of German Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop in opening long
deferred discussions toward a general
Anglo German settlement.
1t was learned, however, that the
French had fatty rejected a British
proposal that conversations with
Chancellor Adolf Hitler be started
Immediately.
After these stepping stones. the
British envisaged an all-European
parley on Central European quarrels.
In the background was the agree
ment OF the two powerful democratic
nations to defend their common
ideals Of national and international
life" with their combined army, navy
and air forces.
The British ministers placed their
reliance upon diplomatic rather than
military or economic power to per-
suade President Edouard Benes Of
Czechoslovakia and Herr Henlein and
his Berlin hackers to come to terms.
