CZECH CRISIS
HOW THE GERMANS TOOK IT. Mr H. Powys Greenwood writes to the “Spectator,” following a visit to Germany at the time of Mr Chamberlain’s agreement: “Of all the different types and classes of people with whom I discussed the move, not one showed signs of taking it as an indication of fundamental weakness. The mass of Germans really do not seem to feel that the British Empire, or even the French, are capitulating to the threat of force, but rather that, at long last, the justice of a natural German claim to self-determination has been admitted —or as one leading official put it, that 20 years after Versailles the Fourteen Points are really going to be applied. No one even hinted to me that Britain and France were not prepared to fight in any circumstances: the suggestion was rather that when it really came io the point they were not prepared to fight against a principle they had themselves proclaimed in ’.918.”
