Choice Before Prague

Berlin, Sept. 25.

The contents of the memorandum handed by Herr Hitler to Mr. Neville Chamberlain for delivery to the Czechoslovak Government has not been published in the Press. Official circles refuse to discuss the document.

The "Lokal-Anzeiger" states:—"The German memorandum provides reasonable and clear proposals for carrying out what has become a matter of course to two Great Powers. Germany wants German territory, nothing else. If Prague accepts the German proposals by October 1, peace is secured. It has the choice of peace or war."—Reuter.
