Paris Fearing "Consequences"

Paris, Sept. 24.

"The European democracies did their utmost to secure a peaceful solution of the Czecho-German problem;" but the gravest consequences are now feared by political observers most of whom agree that the failure of the Godesberg negotiations may have serious results upon the Continental situation.

General opinion concurs that the attempts of the British Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, at Berchte: garden and Godesberg and the considerable sacrifices offered by Czechoslovakia, France and Great Britain, showed these Powers' desire for peace.

Politicians are reserved when asked their opinions on the exact meaning of Mr. Chamberlain's unexpected decision to return to London today.
