London, Sept. 6.
according to well-informed circles here, the new proposals made to the Sudetens by the Czech Government were made following the advice of Mr. Basil Cochrane-Newton, the British Minister in Prague, and Viscount Runciman to grant the Sudetens maximum concessions to avoid the Reich claiming a plebiscite for the amalgamation of the Sudeten districts into Germany.
Mr. Cochrane-Newton urged the Czech Government to publish the new proposals as soon as possible.
Political quarters assert that besides. pressure upon Prague, the British Government will appeal to Berlin to ake a gesture of conciliation, failing which, Germany might face the enforcement of the Franco-Czech alliance and the Anglo-French assistance system.
