Godesberg, Sept. 24
It is authoritatively understood that the German memorandum handed to Mr. Chamberlain before his departure for London fixed October 2 as the date on which the German troops would enter Czechoslovakia to occupy the Sudeten districts.
"I cannot say that the situation is desperate. New proposals are being forwarded to the Czech Government,"
Mr. Neville Chamberlain stated here upon returning to his hotel last night after his lengthy conference with Herr Hitler British circles here declared that Mr. Chamberlain consented to forward to Prague the German plan which asks for a more important and speedier territorial cession. without any German liabilities. It is added that the new concessions are being asked from Prague to avoid complete failure in the Anglo-German negotiations. Certain members of ti British delega tion here are pessimistic as they consider that the Czech Government cannot accept the new proposals which were forwarded during the night to Paris and to several other countries, During the final conversation, Herr Hitler refused to give Mr. Chamber-n assurances that the British plan would be enforced.—Havas.
