Prague, Sept. 16.
The Viscount, 68 years old, is returning to Britain today after a month and a half of attempts in Prague to conciliate the demands of the Sudeten German Party and the Czech ' Government's proposals. Through his efforts, the authorities presented new proposals and the Henleinists agreed to pursue negotia-"tions with a view to reaching an agreement on the vexing minorities question.
During early August Viscount Runciman, former British Cabinet member and owner of vast shipping interests, investigated the circumstances of the nationalities dispute and saw, for the first time, Herr Konrad Henlein, Sudeten leader, at Rothenhaus Castle in Bohemia, home of Prince Max von Hohenlohe-
Langenburg.
A. hitch occurred later in the month when the Sudeten negotiating L delegation stated in conference with the Czech Government's representatives that the thing to do was not discuss details of a settlement but arrive at a settlement on basic principles.
