Czech Crisis Expected to Develop New Troubles Tokyo, Sept. 22.
The influential newspaper, "Chugai Shogyo Shimbun," counseled its readers today to examine Soviet Russia's influence in China in the light of Moscow's recent failure to protect Czechoslovakia from dismemberment.
No Soviet voice, according to the newspaper, has been respected in the Sudeten issue despite the fact that the Soviet Union has special treaty relations with Czechoslovakia. It pointed out that although Prague asked Moscow for aid no reports are available that either Britain, France or Germany negotiated with the Soviet. The Soviet Union, it said, lacks weight as a big Power.
The "Yomiuri Shimbun" says that Mr, Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, possibly sighed with relief at the reported Szechoslovak acceptance of the Anglo-French suggestion but that the crisis centred on Czechoslovakia is not removed by ceding the Sudeten area but rather is aggravated.
The "Kokumin Shimbun" said it hopes the crisis will be dispelled by another victory scored by Herr Adolf Hitler, but that future developments of minorities in Czechoslovakia, including alienation of the Anglo-French alliance and the Soviet Union as a result of the Czech question, is worthy of notice—United Press.
