CZECH POLICY
FRIENDSHIP WITH GERMANY PLACED FIRST INTERNATIONAL SPHERE RENOUNCED. MEASURES OF CONTROL EXTENDED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, noon) PRAGUE, December 13. The Premier, M Rudolf Beran, in a statement on foreign policy, said the foremost task would be the establishment of friendship with Germany, and he hoped Herr Hitler would understand the mind of the Czech people after the recent storms. He declared: “We will adjust ourselves, to what is absolutely inevitable, without renouncing our inalienable rights or the national interest.” We shall also seek relations with England, France, the United States, Poland and Hungary. Events in Europe do not permit optimism, but, because of the urgency of internal reconstruction, Czechoslovakia has no desire to re-enter the international sphere.”
A Bill has been introduced, enabling the Government to rule by decree for two years, with power to alter the constitution. Decrees issued during the crisis, limiting freedom of the Press, meetings and propaganda have been extended three months.
