The German man-in-the-street is still ignorant of the tenor of the German Memo transmitted to Prague through the British Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain. Also, the populace was somewhat disappointed at the brevity of the official communique issued at Godesberg after the Hitler-Chamberlain negotiations closed early in the morning last Saturday.
Herr Hitler's intention is probably to inform the German people of the present situation. The Fuehrer is expected to proclaim German determination to settle the Sudeten problem whatever world opinion is on the subject. Some observers expect Herr Hitler to add proposals to the States interested in the Czech situa-ances given. by their leaders at
Congress.
Rulers of the Reich continue to insist that the decision of whether it is to be war or peace depends exclu sively upon Prague, Paris and London. Nazi quarters emphasize that at the Nuremberg Congress they notified the world of Germany's irrevocable wil to reach a settlement of the Sudeten gestion "by all means and hence, London and Paris have been warned."
It is now expected that Herr Hitler's speech from the Sportpalast this evening will develop this view and that "the Reich will consider herself provoked if Prague does not accept the Godesberg Memo before October 2 and will then enter into action. Therefore, the localization of the conflict depends on Prague, while its spread depends on Paris and London."
