WEEK-END OF SUSPENSE

SERIOUS VIEW OF SITUATION IN EUROPE German Press Campaign of Hate HITLER SAID TO BE UNCOMPROMISING By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, September 9. “The Times” says the meetings of Ministers leave no doubt that an extremely serious view is taken of the situation. Indeed, there is no desire officially to conceal from the public that the crisis is coming to a head. The weekend is likely to be spent in disagreeable suspense. “The Times” Berlin correspondent says it is not too much to say that the hatred expressed by the Press against the Czechs could not be more bitter if the countries were warring. The Germans do not take this hatred at its face value, or it would be difficult to restrain the masses from attacking Czechs, whereas there is actually an earnest desire for peace and fear of war. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Nuremberg correspondent says it is reliably stated that Herr Hitler, in the course of a private exchange of views with high Government authorities, declared that the standpoint of the Carlsbad points must be accepted unconditionally by the Czechs and not merely met by counter-proposals.
