Move Expected

It was understood that Konrad Henlein. German minority leader in Czechoslovakia, had left for home, after being cheered and “heiled” as he arrived at the hall last night to hear Herr Hitler speak. As Herr Hitler made his statement that Germany would go to the aid of the Sudeten Germans is necessary, Herr Henlein ostentatiously left his seat, strode forward a few steps toward the platform, raised his arm in salute, then went back to his seat. Diplomats here contented themselves, in analyzing the situation as the result of Herr Hitler's speech, with saying that at least no early military move by Germany was foreshadowed. They pointed out that Herr Hitler specifically said that further negotialions between the Sudeten German Farty and the Czechoslovak Government were necessary. But they realized that it was in Herr Hitler's mind that negotiations must be concluded soon. The personal bitterness with which Herr Hitler and Marshal!

One foreign diplomat said after hearing Herr Hitler's speech: “Yes, Benes can choose—suicide | or probably murder: Suicide if the Sudetens are permitted to set up a| state within a state, which would! surely tear that state to pieces; or| murder if he stands firm and the Western powers do not take up the German challenge.” |

Plebiscite Seen

As Hitler's Aim

LONDON, Sept. 13 (U. P.) —False reports (not carried by the United Press) that Fuehrer Hitler had “rejected” the idea of a plebiscite in Czechoslovakia caused confusion abroad yesterday during the Chan-| cellor's Nuremberg speech. Herr Hitler did not reject the idea of a plebiscite but indicated plainly that he regarded a free plebiscite in the Sudeten area as a possible solution of the minority problem. The Praha Govrnment has expressed opposition to a popular vote in the Sudeten area The Chancellor's statement about popular votes being “conducted un= der brutal oppression” referred ex|elusively to the Czech municipal elections held last Mav and June,” not to a possible future plebiscite. Ward Price of the London Daily Mail, who is closer to the Nazi regime in Germany than any other foreign correspondent, introduces his dispatch from Nuremberg today with these words: “The price of peace in Europe is a free plebiscite in the Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia. That is the con- | clusion plainly drawable from Adolf Hitler's anxiously awaited speech at | Nuremberg. There is good reason to believe that in Herr Hitler's mind 'a plebiscite is an essential condition and that this measure should be arranged before the end of September.

Declaring that Fuehver Hitlers speech did not appear to take into full account the British attitude, the statement said: “However anxious the British people are to see settlement of a problem which they recognize is a real one. it is quite impossible to suppose that Britain can stand aside from a confiict in which the integrity of France would be menaced.” It added that the speech “does little to remove the menace which is causing the world so great a measure of anxiety.” The call to the Cabinet came after a dav of earnest consultation by Chamberlain with key Cabinet men and party leaders, including Mr. Attlee.

A terse communique issued after the meeting said: “Premier Daladier and Foreign Minister Bonnet explained their impression of the foreign situaticn and the conditions in which the French Government should continue vigilant action to preserve peace. The Council unanimously associated itself with this conclusion.”

New Secret Measures Expected

It was said authoritatively that this communique should be interpreted to mean: 1. That the Cabinet approved tne military precautions already taken. 2. That it approved additional secret measures to be taken. 3. That it empowered M. Daladiex to take any steps he considered necessary to meet an emergency.

Three possibilities were foreseen: 1—That as the result of a breakdown in minority negotiations Herr Hitler might demand a plebiscite, possibly with a brief time limit. 2—That disorders in the Sudeten minority area would result in 1repressive measures by the Czechoslovak Government and cause Herr Hitler to intervene actively to «id the Sudeten Germans against “brutalities.” 3—That, at some turning point in| the minority problem Herr Hitler might make up his mind on a definite. considered course and summon his Reichstag so that he could announce it.

Another, which persisted | despite all German denials, was that German troop movements in frontier areas not only continued, but were being intensified.

Gayda gave recognition to Fuehrer Hitler's claims and hailed the German leader's reference in his Nuremberg speech yesterday to Italo-German friendship.
