Acceptance in Principle

Stating that the Czech Government had sent a Note to the British and French ministers setting forth the Government's attitude towards the Anglo-French proposals, the eagerly-awaited communique of the Government was issued yesterday.

The Communiqué stated that "the attitude adopted makes it possible for further diplomatic negotiations in the spirit of conciliation which the Czech Government has always shown."

Reuter learns that the Czech Npte is an acceptance in principle, but that it makes a number of important reservations.

The purport of the Note, which is a long document, is not yet known officially. The Czech Government, it is understood here, introduced into its Note certain reservations, and suggestions for the application of the Treaty of Arbitration drawn up with Germany in 1926.—Reuter.
