GLOOM IN PRAGUE
INJUSTICE TO NATION
"RECEIVED A CROWN OF
THORNS"
ALLIANCES IGNORED AT MUNICH
PRAGUE, October 1. The city is plunged in gloom and depression, the military fervour animating last week having evaporated. The Cabinet has nominated the Premier, General Sirovy, as the leader of the special committee to work with the international delimitation commission. The Government has called off airraid precautions and other military measures. An official broadcast today declared that the Munich agreement was a great injustice against a nation which had always served the cause of peace and which for peace had gone to extremes in self-denial. "The leaders at Munich have gone home to be welcomed as the saviours of peace. Not a glance was given at their treaties of alliance. There was no recognition of Czechoslovakia's alliances and obligations from them. ' "All that Prague received was a crown of thorns. The life of the republic, however, is not yet closed."
