Washington, Mar. 14. Political circles here declare that the present crisis in Slovakia is the direct consequence of the Munich accords, for which the United States Were in no way responsible.
They add that the situation is strikingly similar with that which preceded German intervention in Austria and Czechoslovakia last year.
Today, as then, the appetite of Hitlerite pan-Germanism is being revealed both in the intervention in the domestic affairs of other countries by radio propaganda and in the threat of sending German troops, Political quarters fear that Berlin may take advantage of the appeal for assistance by the Slovaks to establish a "base" in Slovakia from where the Reich could eventually launch her attacks against Soviet Ukraine.
Most of the Ukrainian organizations in the United States refused to take any stand in the present crisis.
According to the "Washington Daily News," this proves to what degree ihe Fascist Ukrainians are under the dependence of Berlin. whose official attitude has not yet been made known.—Havas.
