Demands in Memorandum

The Chancellor proceeded to outline the demands contained in his memorandum.

Referring to an international control commission to supervise voting in the plebiscite areas, he said he had stated today that he was ready to invite the British Legion, which had declared itself willing to preserve order, to come in.

Dr. Benes, he declared, would have to surrender the preponderant German region on October 1.

The Fuehrer expressed gratitude to Mr. Chamberlain for his efforts, and said he had told him that "Germany wants peace, and has assured him, and I repeat it here, that after the Czech problem is settled I shall have no more territorial claims in It the Czechs solved the problem of their other minorities decently, Herr Hitler added, "then the Czech nation does not interest me any more, and as far as I am concerned I shall guarantee it, Benes has peace or war in his hands. Either he gives the Sudetens liberty or we fetch this liberty."—Reuter.
