Czechs Detail Objections

The nature of the Czech Government's reply to Herr Hitler's memmorandum has so far not been disclosed.

The view is taken in Prague of Herr Hitler's final demands, however states Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent, that acceptance of the German plan would amount to complete capitulation of the State's sovereignty.

It is pointed out that the" integral part of the Anglo-French plan, which the Czechs have accepted, is an international guarantee of the new frontiers, the guarantor States to include Germany. The territory demanded by Herr Hitler includes the main line of Czechoslovak fortifications, leaving the country without any means of defence.
