people had marched back and forth, stopping on occasion to shout defiance to the world. : At 7 a. m. the workers began pouring into the streets.
Mourning Day Declared
Yesterday they were going to work. Today they were out to show that though their Government had surrendered—the people had not. Shopgirls, factory hands, office boys, formed parades. They were joined by their employers, and shops and factories were idle. Normal traffic was impossible and motorists halted their cars and joined the marchers. The demonstrations spread throughout the country. Employers declared a day of mourning, and shut their plants. Factories which had been turning out guns, airplanes, rifles at top speed, ready for war, were shut. In Praha firemen were called out to aid soldiers and policemen as the crowds pressed around the presidential palace. “Give us arms! Give us arms!” the crowds shouted. “Let us fight! Long live the Army! We want an Army Government!”

Gen. Syrovy loomed as the strong man of the new Government, which was expected to be a virtual military dictatorship. He probably will be Interior Minister—the law and order authority.

PRIME MINISTER SEEKS BASIS OF GENERAL PEACE
Nation Urged to Wait; Paris Cabinet May Be Overthrown.
#
LONDON, Sept. 22 (U. P.).—The Government urged the nation today to withhold judgment on the partition of Czechoslovakia until Prime Minister Chamberlain can “give the
full facts.” Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax, in a statement issued while Mr. Chamberlain conferred at Godesberg with Fuehrer Hitler, urged the public not to form a premature conclusion. Mr. Chamberlain flew this morning to the Rhineland to inform Herr Hitler that the Nazi demand for the Sudetenland had been accepted. Just before he stepped into his plane for his 320-mile flight he broke his silence on the surrender he and Premier Daladier of France had made to Herr Hitler's demand for the Sudeten German area of Czechoslovakia. “I Aim at Peace” “A peaceful solution of the Czech problem 1s an essential preliminary to a better understanding between the British and German peoples,” | he said. “That, in turn, is indispen- | sable to the foundation of European peace. “European peace is what I am aiming at, and I hope this journey may open the way to get it.” The crowd had been icily silent] when Mr. Chamberlain took leave of his wife on the steps of 10 Downing street, his official residence. Now, the little crowd around the plane cheered him heartily. Before Mr. Chamberlain left, Queen Elizabeth arrived from Scotland for a one-day visit. It was reported that she came to aid in raising public morale—which was low. Mr. Chamberlain was going to present Herr Hitler with a great triumph. As he went reports] blazed from newspapers—and in| the chancelleries of embassies—that Herr Hitler would make more demands. But he went with suggestions of his own. Further, public anger over

the fate of Czechoslovakia was mounting and it appeared that the British leader was nearing the limit of concessions he might make without danger to his Government.
For that reason, anxiety grew in official quarters in London.
The hope was that Mr. Chamberlain would find Herr Hitler generous, that he might persuade the Nazi Fuehrer to enter an agreement for long-range peace consolidation negotiations. It was reported in well informed quarters that Mr. Chamberlain's proposals were: 1. An international commission to demarcate the new frontiers of Czechoslovakia, and to supervise the exchange of populations—Germans from Czechoslovak areas, Czechoslovaks from Sudeten areas. 2. Immediate demobilization, in the interest of peace, of the extraordinary contingents of the German Army, now believed to be nearing a total of 1,500,000 men as against a normal limit of perhaps 660,000. 3. A joint appeal by Herr Hitler and himself to all parties concerned to maintain peace and order in Czechoslovakia in the interval necessary to effectuate any agreement which might be reached. 4. Certain guarantees for the maintenance of the integrity of the new Czechslovak state. Another airplane was chartered
at Heston Airdrome a short time after Mr. Chamberlain's departure—
to take a delegation of labor leaders, headed by Sir Walter Citrine, the Trades Union chief, to Paris, to confer with French labor leaders on what they regarded as the deliberate betrayal of an ally, Czechoslovakia, by the dominant ministers of the British and French cabinets.
Labor Leaders Protest
Their decision to go came after a joint meeting of Labor Party and labor union executives last night at which it was asserted that British traditions had been dishonored. The Liberal Party executive had demanded the immediate assembly of Parliament, and had denounced the British-French plan as shameful,
The two principal denunciations of Mr. Chamberlain's action from influential men outside the Cabinet, came from patricians who felt as did Labor Party and labor union people in their opposition to the
middle class men at the top of the
Cabinet.
Both Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden had issued statements criticising the Government.
Three French Cabinet Members Ask to Quit
PARIS, Sept. 22 (U. P.).—Three members of Premier Daladier’'s Cabinet put their resignations in his hands today in protest over the

partition of Czechoslovakia, but ace ceptance of the resignations was de= layed. : Letters of resignation were left with M. Daladier by George Mandel, Minister of Colonies; Paul Reynaud, Justice, and Auguste Champetier de Ribes, Pensions. The three Ministers are Centrist Liberals. M. Daladier did not accept the resignations pending the outcome of today’s conferences at Godesberg. Observers believed that M. Mane. del, who leads the opposition, ine tends to try to force overthrow of the whole Cabinet if Herr Hitler in= creases his demands, thereby intere rupting the Godesberg talks.
Oppose Concessions
The three ministers declared their opposition to further concessions to Herr Hitler and demanded that their resignations be accepted if the German Fuehrer declares the pres ent British-French deal for solu: tion of the Czech crisis is not sufficient or if further dismemberment: of Czechoslovakia is sought to meet the demands of Hungary and Poe land. Several Cabinet members conside ered resigning in protest against the British-French deal. The real test ot opposition to M. Daladier’s policy will come later when the Leftist parties, now di= vided as to a course of action, get together or when Parliament meets.
