to
call
at

residence
tonight
and

regarding
the
crisis.
HITLER
NOT
TURNING
BACK
Chancellor
Adolf
Hitler
declared
at
Berlin
tonight:
"I
have
decided
that
we
shall
place
Czechoslovakia's
Sudeten
area
under
German
sovereignity"
and
added
that,
if
President
Benes
"does
not
want
peace
we
will
have
to
take
matters
into
our
own
hands."
Addressing
a
huge
throng
in
the
Sportspalast,
Hitler
said
that
Germany
and
Italy
will
stand
together
and
"will
be
able
to
defend
themselves
as
a
solid
block
if
the
worst
comes
to
the
worst"
in
settling
the
Sudeten
problem
which
he
said
was
Germany's
last
and
final
problem.
This
declaration
followed
a
review
by
Hitler
of
his
relations
with
the
principal
European
powers
in
which
he
voiced
dissatisfaction
with
the
1936
naval
treaty
with
Great
Britain,
limiting
Germany's
naval
power.
Hitler
spoke
of
German
unity
and
declared
he
was
speaking
for
the
whole
nation.
"Germany
is
not
interested
in
oppressing
other
people,"
Hitler
declared.
"Its
foreign
policy
is
directed
solely
at
being
of
service
to
German
peoples."
Hitler
declared
that
Czechoslovakia's
Sudeten
territories
arc
the
last
in
Europe
which
Germany
will
seek,
to
annex.
Already
he
had

continues

with
hope
In
some
quarters
and
despair

There
Is
still
the
possibility
that
there
may

somewhere
In
the
situation
between
Germany
and
Czechoslovakia
which'
threatens
to
embroil
Europe
and
the
world
In
what
might
be
the
most
terrible
conflict
In
history.
Chancellor
Adolf

on
the
one

continues,
apparently,

the
demand
that

'
London
newspapers
Dlace
the
res
ponsibility
for
peace
or
war
In
Europe
squarely
on
the
shoulders
of
Hitler.
The
Times
says:
"If
war
comes,
Hitler
will
be
responsible
not
only
to
the
world
but
particu
larly
to
his
own
people."
It
has
been
stated
that
the
point
on
which
Premier
Chamberlain
and
Chancellor
Hitler
came
to
the
parting
of
the
Vays
last
week
was
Hitler's
refusal
to
demobilize
German
reserve
forces.
German
newspapers
crystallize
the
Issue
by
declaring
that
the
"only
question
m
dispute
Is
the
method
oi
evacuation
of
Sudeten
areas."
As
for
claims
of
Poland
and
Hungary
In.
respect
to
minorities
In
Czechoslovakia,
the
German
papers
contend
that
they
should
be
entitled
to
self-determination.
Czechoslovakian
spokesmen
reiterate
that
the
Anglo-French
proposals
of
a
week
ago
were
agreed
to
by
Czechoslovakia
only
In
the
Interests
of
peace.
There
could
be
no
further
surrender,
however,
by
Czechoslovakia
as
a
basis
of
agreement.
This
was
why
general
mobilization
of
the
country's
fighting
forces
had
been
ordered.
Prague
continues
quiet
as
preparations
for
war
continue.
There
were
further
clashes
In
Sudeten
areas
with
more
casualties
at
the
week-end.
Both
Germans
and
Czechs
claimed
unjustified
attacks.
German
armies
are
reported
to
be
preparing
to
cross
from
Saxony
Into
Crcchoslovakia.
Evacuation
of
Czechoslovakia
by
British,
Americans
and
other
nationals
continues.
Forty-five
British
subjects
were
reported
to
have
crossed
the
border
at
one
point,
taking
only
hand
luggage
with
them.
Mussolini
Enigmatic
The
position
of
Italy
In
connection
with
the
Czechoslovakian
crisis
Is
still
enigmatic.
Premier
Mussolini,
voluble
as

is
nevertheless
indefinite.

still
professes

he

yesterday,
he
deplored
the
prospect
of
It
being
nec

to

the
Czechoslovakian
crisis.
Russia's
attitude
continues
to
be
one
of
waiting
to
see
what
other
nations
will
do.
