Daladier of France arrived next. He was cheered by thousands of people at the airport, as a band played the “Marseillaise,” the French national anthem. He strode msmilingly and grim past an honor guard of Hitler's own “Death's Head” bodyguards, drawn up in his honor. Mr. Chamberiain arrived last and received an even greater cheer as he got out of his airplane. He, too, however, was grave. He had been smiling happily when he left London. Now he looked tired. German leaders insisted, as the statesmen arrived, that Germany must have the Sudeten area hy Saturday, when Herr Hitler's ultimatum for surrender of the Sudeten area expires. Reports circulated that he might be offered a “token” occupation which would enable German troops to enter Saturday the frontier towns such as Eger and Asch. As Mr. Chamberlain arrived, the first note of possible trouble was sounded—the Czechoslovak Legation at London informed the British Jovernment that Dr. Vojtech Mastny, Czechoslovak Minister at Berlin, and Dr. K. L. Lisicky, counselor of the London Legation, were on their way to Munich to “be at the disposal” of the British and French delegates if they wanted information.
