Czech Cabinet in Agr ent on Plan; Appeal By British and French Ministers EU Prague, May 8.
ANIMITY has been reached by the Czechoslovakian Cabinet, in regard to the methods of settling the Sudeten German problem, according to responsible quarters here, which admit that previously there had been considerable dissension.
It is understood that the solution on which the Government is working will be complete and definite, and will not be merely ofa formal character, confined to a recapitulation of existing legislation. Phere is even agreement, it is stated, on the German side on certain points of the proposed solution, especially concerning an autonomous political and cultural administration.
For these reasons, the appeal made by Great Britain and France yesterday to go to the limit in making concessions to the German minority—meets with understanding in competent circles, both from political and practical points of view.
A belief is held here that a Solution of the minority problem will be found on the lines suggested by the British and French Governments.
Czechoslovakia's answer to Anglo-French suggestions {or economic assistance to Danubian states will probably be a request for a loan by the Western Powers to free Czec slovakia and her neighbours from the link with Germany, according to well-informed circles here.
Czechoslovakia, it is added, is also likely to ask for new trade agreemenis by which part of the trade between Danubian states and Germany may be diverted to Great Bri-in and France. is pointed out that Czechoslovakian frozen credits amount to 35,000,- 000 marks, wi those of other Danubian states are larger and still increasing, In lieu of payments, these States are obliged to accept German manufaetures, and their foreign trade is tending to become more and more restricted to Germany.—Reuter.
