ANXIETY IN PRAGUE
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY TENSE MINISTERS NOT TO LEAVE CAPITAL NEW MINORITIES LAW DRAFTED. (Recd This Day, 1.38 p.m.) PRAGUE, May 11. Because it is considered that the next seven days will be critical for Czech-German relations Dr Hodza (Prime Minister) has ordered members of the inner Political Cabinet not to leave the capital before Monday; to cancel all routine engagements, and to hold themselves in readiness for emergencies. Further indications of a tense situation are seen in the Ministry of the Interior’s banning of six Vienna newspapers. The Government is completing within a week a draft law concerning the rights of Minorities, regarding which it is anxious over German reactions. A Polish minority totalling 100,000 is the latest to demand autonomy.
The Hungarian minority in Czechoslovakia has presented an eightypoint programme to the Government, modelled on Herr Henlein’s demands, and announce that this is only a prelude to further requirements.
