...initiative of the President, addressed evenhandedly in duplicate to President Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia and to German Führer Adolf Hitler, contained a solemn injunction "not to break off negotiations looking to a peaceful, fair and constructive settlement of the questions at issue." These negotiations were begun fortnight ago at Berchtesgaden, after months of private exchanges between the four European chiefs, Neville Chamberlain, Adolf Hitler, Edouard Daladier and Benito Mussolini. They were continued last week at Godesberg, the picturesque Rhineland spa. There the Berchtesgaden Plan, already "accepted unconditionally" by Czechoslovakia, was evaporated last week from cold Peace water into...
...world this week, Czechoslovakia was a heroic nation. Its President Eduard Benes not only proved himself heroic, but was hailed with even more reason than at any time during the last 20 years as "Europe's Smartest Little Statesman." After Dr. Benes received the British and French demand that he yield to Germany most of the Sudeten territory of Czechoslovakia, it was smart to keep the Great Powers waiting nervously for 30 hours last week while in Prague the President and Premier Milan Hodza labored with legal experts, finally produced not a note of capitulation but a suave reply...

From Germany came tart reminders that during the World War a certain Dr. Eduard Benes was a political fugitive from the Habsburg Empire. Indeed, he had fled out of Austria at the same obscure border point where Henlein fled...
...Hradcany Castle, ancient stronghold on the heights of Prague, Czechoslovak President Eduard Benes faced the crisis of his career. Fortnight ago the "maximum concessions" which the Czechoslovak Government believed it possible to make to Sudeten Germans without shattering its own sovereignty were offered in Premier Milan Hodza's "Plan No. 3," which Hitler promptly had the Sudetens turn down. The President then took over from the Premier, drafted and released...
