Burgos, Oct. 14.
The Nationalist press launched a big scale campaign today demanding the recognition of belligerency rights ab the logical consequence of the withdrawal of the Italian volunteers.
"To deny belligerency would be equivalent absurdly to saying that there is no war in Spain," the Fascist "Diane Vasco" said. "Belligerency is the existent rights which should not be juggled with any longer" the Catholic Conservative, "Gaceta del Norte," said.
Meanwhile, the press campaign against any manner of mediation.—"United Press.
Conversations held today by Herr Adolf Hitler and the visiting Czech Foreign Minister, Dr. Franz Chvalkovsky, mark a complete change in the attitude of the new Czech State towards the Reich, observers here asserted this evening.
This assumption they base upon their interpretation of the communique published early this afternoon, which insisted upon Prague's deteriination to adopt a "loyal attitude" towards Germany.
The general conviction here is that Czechoslovakia will gradually establish a basis for confident relations with the Reich. Evidence for this may be seen in the measures already taken in Prague towards Freemasons, Jewish immigrants and Communist newspapers, it is pointed out.
Observers also believe that the Czechs are willing to stabilize their new foreign policy, taking as a basis complete neutrality and the avoidance of any steps that might prove unpleasant to Berlin.
