Prague, June 15.
Negotiations for a settlement of the Sudeten German problem opened yesterday with 23-hour conversations between Dr. Milan Hodza, Czech Premier, and representatives of Herr Konrad Henlein, Leader of the Sudeten German Party.
The negotiations are being conducted on the basis of Herr Henlein's demands, and the Government Draft Minorities Statute.
Following the negotiations, the Political Sub-Committee of the Council of Ministers met to put the finishing touches to the Statute, in the light of the conversations.
Another meeting of the two parties is to be held soon, it is learned, indicating that the negotiations will be continued.—Reuter.
