PRAQUE,
Czechoslovakia
An
American
liaison
officer
for
arranging
transfer
of
Germans
I
from
Czechoslovakia
is
expected
here
shortly
to
discuss
arrangements
for
moving
the
Sudetens
Into
the
American
zone.
According:
to
a
nlan
announc
In
November,
the
transfers
H
were
to
have
begun
December';
but
owing
to
difficulties
existing
inside
Germany,
especially'
regard
to
food,
housing
and
transport
during
the
winter
months,
none
of
the
December
quota
of
250.000
actually
left
Czechoslovakia.
i
It
also
appears
that
the
Sudetens
were
not
provided
with
Identity
cards,
upon
which
the
Americans
insisted.
It
is
now
hoped
some
at
any
rate
of
'the
January
quota
of
125,000
will
go
to
the
American
i
zone,
but
there
is
no
likelihood
that
the
Russians
will
accept
any
for
the
present.
Half
of
Russian
Quota
The
Russians,
however,
ac
cording
to
the
Czechoslovakian
ministry
of
Information's
official
bulletin,
have
already
taken
about
half
their
agreed
quota
approximately
1,500,000.
The
same
source
says
Americans
agreed
to
receive
altogether
1,750,000,
making
over
3,000,-000
in
all
In
other
words
the;
whole
Sudeten
population
of
thc
country.
This
is
considerably
higher
than
estimates
current
during
the
summer,
when
the
figure
a
little
over
2,000,000
was
mentioned.
CCfljdljjtphebulleUr
1,-000,000
Czechs
have
already
emigrated
to
the
border
region
and
"another
large
stream
of
Czech
citizens
will
leave
for
border
regions
in
the
spring,
when
small
estates
will
be
distributed
workers
and
craftsmen."
The
bulletin
considers
that
this
"guarantee
of
the
economic
life'
of
border
regions
cannot
now
be
seriously
arfected,
even
the
Germans
did
leave
suddenly."
.
Sec
Danger
From
Within
A
majority
of
foreign
observers
and
a
considerable
number
of
Czechs,
however,
question
this
statement.
They
arc
agreed
that
on
political
grounds
it
is
essential
to
get
rid
of
a
majority
of
the
Sudetens
because
of
the
future
possibility
of
their
being
used
once
more
to
destroy
the
Czechoslovak
state
from
the
Inside.
But
they
also
point
out
that
the
Sudeten
population
was
mainly
engaged
in
Industry,
so
without
their
skilled
labor
for
which
substitutes
cannot
quickly
be
trained,
Czechoslovakia's
hopes
of
restoring
its
Industrial
production
and
export
trade
on
which
the
prosperity
of
the
country
depends
will
be
seriously
jeopardized.
On
economic
grounds,
therefore,
the
largest
possible
number
of
Sudetens
ought
to
be
retained
consistent
with
maintenance
of
the
country's
political
Independence
in
the
future.

The
Bcchuana
tribe
of
Bathlaros
(People
of
the
Wild
Olive)
has
at
last
redeemed
itself
after
rebelling
43
years
ago
and
as
a
reward
the
tribesmen
again
has
a
paramount
chief.
He
is
the
grandson
of
the
last
chief
who
was
killed
in
the
rebellion,
staged
as
a
protest
against
the
annexation
of
Bech-uanaland
by
the
whites.
Robanyane
Tote
is
the
new
chief
of
the
Bathlaros.
He
was
discovered
only
after
a
long
search
by
officials
of
the
native
affairs
department.
They
found
him
working
at
his
trade
as
watchmaker
in
Vryburg.
At
a
largely-attended
and
colorful
ceremony
on
the
edge
of
the
Kalahari
Desert
near
Kuru-man,
the
new
chief
was
installed
by
the
secretary
for
Native
Afrairs,
W.
J.
G.
Mcars,
who
presented
him
with
a
framed
certificate
of
approval
from
ths
officer
administering
the
government.
Part
of
hc
ceremony
was
the
traditional
poi:ing-out
of
the
new
chief
by
the
headman
and
elders
of
the
tribe,
who
placed
i
leopard
skin
over
him
and
installed
him
in
office.
The
new
chief
has
administrative
jurisdiction
over
his
tribal
portion
of
the
Kuruman
district
and
he
can
preside
over
all
trials
except
those
for
murder,
treason
and
rape.
In
their
request
for
a
paramount
chief,
made
some
time
ago
to
the
government,
the
Bathlaros
said
that
despite
the
South
African
War,
the
children
of
Queen
Victoria
and
their
former
enemies
were
now
friends.
The
tribe,
therefore,
should
also
be
forgiven
and
granted
more
freedom,
as
well
as
the
right
to
restore
tribalism

contracts
for

launched
more
than
135,000
tons
of
ships.

contracts
were
for
the

the
Dally
News
recently
that
as
far
as
he
knew
no
word
of
new

had
been
decided
on.
However,
there
is
a
possibility
that
badly-needed
Canadian

may
be
built
in
this
yard.
At
its

period
