The reply of the Czech Government io the Anglo-French proposals has been handed to the British and French London, Sept, 22. Mr. Neville Chamberlain's task at Godesberg today is becoming increasingly difficult in view of Poland and Hungary's demands for the cession of the Czech regions inhabited by Polish and Hungarian minorities, political observers now assert.
It is anticipated that Mr. Chamberlain will insist that Herr Hitler should realize the positive results of Anglo-French action in Prague. He is expected to emphasize that Herr Hitler should be patient and not precipitate war.
General opinion here is that this afternoon's Godesberg parleys depend upon "unknown elements" such as Herr Hitler's attitude towards negotiations on the basis set previously, considering the results attained in Prague, Herr Hitler's probable support of the Polish and Hungarian claims, minorities in Czechoslovakia, his attitude on views expressed in the German press which demands the total suppression of the Czech State.
Will the British Prime Minister agree to consider such demands if made, is the vital question.
