SINISTER WARNINGS TO CZECHS THREAT IN EVENT OF WAR. UNREST TO BE PUT DOWN RUTHLESSLY, LONDON, July 23. The President of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Dr Emil Hacha, issued a statement in Prague saying that in the event of certain developments in German foreign policy, the Czechs would loyally support Germany. M Havelka, the acting-Prime Minis-, ter, broadcast a grave warning to the Czechs to put from their minds any dreams that war would improve their situation.
The Prague correspondent of the “Sunday Times” says the statements result from a visit from the German police chief, Herr Himmler, who delared that, in the event of war, unrest in Bohemia and Moravia would be ruthlessly suppressed. Military preparations are visible in many parts of the protectorate. Highways are being constructed at a great pace from Zilna to the Slovak-Polish frontier.
