If One Doesn’t Get Him the Other Must! | (1
%Zi
Early Wednesday morning a re
port over the radio was given
which said that the Czech govern
ment had bowed to the demands of
Germany, with the following state
ment being wade by the officials at
Prague: "The Czech government
has been forced under irresistible
pressure from both hrit'sh and
French governments to accept with
pain the proposals elaborated ire
London."
Adolf Hitler is now the "king
pin" of Central Europe, and will no
doubt force his way to form "pro
tectorates” of other small nations.
Brevard people who listen to every
news broadcast over the radio end
scan dally papers eagerly, are of the
opinion that Germany will be dictator
of all Europe If not the entire world
within a short span unless Russia’s
stand causes France and England to
change their attitude toward the
butchering of the Czechoslovakian re
public.
The fact that England and France
have broken their treaty with the
Czech nation, and are now suggest
ing that Hitler's German regime be
spread Into the Sudeten territory as a
means to avert war looks to the aver
age citizen as acknowledgment on the
part of France and England that they
are afraid of Germany.
tender the Versailles peace treaty of
1919. both France and England allied
themselves to protect Czechoslovakia
against Invasion of any foreign power,
and Russia has Blnce signed an al
liance whereby the Soviets will come to
the aid of tho email republic provided
France would do likewise.
Backing down of the French gov
ernment at the crucial period when
Hitler says he will take the 3,600,000
million populated area of Sudeten by
force If necessary, gives Russia legal
reasons to withdraw their support,
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain,
who conferred with Hitler last week,
Ip scheduled to meet the dictator again
Thursday for a conference In regard
to his demands for dismemberment of
the Czechoslovakian nation. Judging
from the previous meeting of the two
men, there la little comfort to be ex
pected for the oppressed republic.
"It Is no business of America's" In
the opinion of Brevard citizens—but
they can see no sense of decency In
the backing down of England and
France who are morally and legally
bound to stand with Czechoslovakia.
Effect of the war scare In Europe
has been felt In New York and Chicago
markets, with a little easing up on
Tuesday.
