Prague, Aug. 30.
extent"to which the Czech Government is prepared to admit the principle of the Sudeten demands as a preliminary to further negotiations is expected to be indicated by Dr, Edouard Benes, the President of Czechoslovaki at his meeting today with Herr Konrad Henlein, leader of the Sudeten Germans.
Some of the more radical Sudeten Germans, hoping that Herr Hitler, in his eagerly-awaited speech at Nuremberg next week, will go further than their demands, seem to think that no settlement should yet be reached, but it is generally hoped that Hern Henlein will show moderation and, if an agreement is reached, the settlement of details would be comparatively easy.
The Government's important concession, it is gathered, will be the allocation of own diets to the projected Sudeten German cantons. -This should go a long way to satisfy Herr Henlein's fundamental request for recognition as a political entity.
The meeting of Dr, Benes and Herr Henlein today is considered to be of the "utmost importance," as it will probably decide the future of nego-{lations between the two parties.
Tt the result of the meeting is favourable, there will be a real possibility that the negotiations between the Czech Government and the Sude-fen Germans will be resumed, it is Toomed.
