DEMONSTRATIONS BY NAZIS. “DESIGNED TO DEMORALISE CZECHS?” PRAGUE, September 9. Fresh demonstrations broke out in four towns in Sudeten territory today as the result of incidents with the police. •Four thousand Nazis at Krumau shouted: “We want union with Germany! One Reich, one people, one leader!” The Sudetens allege that the Czechs broke into their local centre, the Deutches Haus. Czech newspapers, referring to the clashes, ask: “Are the incidents designed to demoralise the Czechs and lead the world to believe that the situation is out of hand?” The increasing demand for tinned and other preservable goods reveals that the Czechs feel anxiety for the future. Deputations of peasants, civil servants, shopkeepers and youth organisations continue to urge the Government to remain firm. It is believed that the German minority is preparing a series of weekend demonstrations and possibly dangerous incidents, including the funeral on Saturday of an alleged spy who .committed suicide.
