Chamberlain Map v. Hitler Map. The Berchtesgaden Plan of last fortnight went far beyond the demands which the Sudeten German Party repeatedly in August told British Mediator Viscount Runci-man would satisfy not only their "Little Führer" Konrad Henlein but also the Führer. Henlein asked "states rights" or "dominion status" for the Sudetens, and the Czechoslovak Government reluctantly consented. In the traditional British role of "broker" in major quarrels on the Continent, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, after ascertaining fortnight ago that France was ready to yield and join in causing Czechoslovakia to yield still more than...
Finally the Demands summoned the Czechoslovak Government to discharge from its army and police forces all persons of German race and to let political prisoners of this race out of its jails. Although many Czechoslovaks have counted on being able to dynamite their $250,000,000 fortifications in the Sudeten area and industrial plants worth much more before handing the area over to Germany under the Berchtesgaden Plan, the Godesberg Demands harshly required that evacuated territory be handed over in its present condition...

We are entirely different. During the war he wandered about the world outside the danger zone, while I did my duty as a soldier - and again today I AM THE FIRST SOLDIER OF MY PEOPLE! ... I COULD NEVER BE REPROACHED WITH...
...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 to Britain and France in which the Czecho-slovak...
