London, June 14.
Questioned in the House of Commons-today on the position in Czechoslovakia, the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, said he was hopeful that, with the goodwill both parties were now showing, a settlement could be reached by negotiation between the Czech Government and the Sudeten Party.
But, he said, if these delicate and difficult negotiations were to be carried on in a suitable atmosphere it was essential that utmost patience and restraint be exercised both in Czechoslovakia and elsewhere.
The British Minister in Prague had continued to emphasize in several recent interviews with the Czech President, Dr. Eduard Benes, and members of the Czech Government the urgent importance of reaching a comprehensive and lasting settlement by negotiation,—Wireless through Reuter.
