...Benes suggests that the Sudeten districts be credited to Germany in the books, and meanwhile that Czechs continue to rape the Sudetenland. . . . He still hopes that Chamberlain and Daladier can be moved so that he can be released from his promise. But here stands man against man. There is Benes-here am I. Only one of us can win. 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...
Meanwhile, Sudetens who had fled to Germany and organized a Freikorps ("Free Corps") appeared in Mufti, wearing Freikorps armbands and supplied with light German weapons of every sort, including hand grenades and machine guns, to wage localized warfare upon Czechoslovak towns and customs houses all along the Sudeten frontier.

Touted as an instrument of international harmony, radio has a bad record as a peace maker. It was no bar to war in Spain, war in China. In every major crisis since the World War, radio has shouted provocative insults, challenges. All last week Berlin's official broadcasting voice screamed against "the Czech mass murderers," bombarded the rest of the world with atrocity stories, invented a radio language in which the Czech army...
They are Doctor F. Deutsch, of the University of Prague, a Sudeten German, but anti-Nazi and loyal to the democracy, and Jacob A. De Haas, William Ziegler Professor of International Relationships. Both are students of the economic and political background of the greater German movement and the Czech problem. Deutsch was the Czech delegate to the World Youth Congress last summer...
