APPEAL TO BRITAIN
CZECH GOVERNMENT
ECONOMIC TROUBLES
URGENT ATTENTION NEEDED
LONDON, October 1. The Czech Government has appealed to the British Government to give its urgent attention to the economic difficulties which are bound to ensue almost immediately from the Munich agreement for Czechoslovakia. I The appeal also points out that the | Munich agreement insists on the release of all the Sudeten German political prisoners, but that not one word lis said regarding the Czech Customs officers and other civil servants kidnapped to Germany, nor regarding the prominent Czechs who were arrested and are being held as hostages. The Council of Action for Peace and Reconstruction is organising a Czechoslovakia thanksgiving fund to alleviate at least some of the suffering and losses experienced by large numbers of Czech refugees who are being transferred from their homes at short notice. The council points out that the fund affords an opportunity of tangibly expressing gratitude to the Czechs for the enormous sacrifices which they made with dignity, calmness, and fortitude, in accepting a surrender equivalent to defeat in war in order that millions of men, women, and children throughout Europe should not perish.
