Sudeten—Self"Decisions Followed by Referendum Preferred; War Unwanted Berlin, Sept. 14.
"he Reich no longer views an immediate plebiscite in the Sudeten German regions of Czechoslovakia as the best solution to the Czech-Sudeten problem, ¢ertain political observers Tore stated late tonight.
Germany would mow favour a plebiscite only after the Sudeten Germans had been granted the right of self-determination acclaimed by Reiehsfuhrer Adolf Hitler in hi speech at Nuretberg last Monday evening. The plebiscite would then be merely the sanctioning of a "fait accompli," as it was in Austria on April 10 this year, the same. observers added.
Appatently local political circles in general are convinced that continuous Czech concessions to Germany will finally result in a serious internal crisis, after which Czech moderate elements might form a Government and reverse entirely both the internal and external policies of Czechoslovakia, The country "would then "become practically a German protectorate in which the Sudetens would play a role similar to that of Ulster in Ireland," these politicians say.
Another possibility would be the formation of a Government by Czech radical elements, in which case incidents might occur with such great frequency that "Germany would consider herself provoked," the same political quarters conclude—Havas.
