PAGE TEN THE DAICY TIMES-GAZETTE 'THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 194a Interpreting The News The following, second of four ar- ticles on the anniversary of the Munich crisis, represents the views of an American reporter who cov- ered the negotiations, By DEWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The futility of Prime Minister Ne- ville Chamberlain's efforts. at ap- peasing Adolf Hitler 10 years ago and so achieving "peace in our time" pivoted on a fact which wasn't "realized even by German official. dom at the beginning of the nego- tiations at Berchtesgaden over the Fuenrers demands on Czechoslova- a. This was that Hitler already had vil designs for large-scale conquess, {ar exceeding anything which little Czechoslovakia afforded. It was unly recently that this was made known to me by Dr. Erich Kordt, who at the time of the negotiations 'was chief of the German Foreign Office Secretariat and now 4s a Professor in the University of Mun- ic During a chat at AP headquarters in New York Dr. Kordt told me it was Hitler's brutal dealing with Chamberlain at Godesberg (the se- cond conference) which tipped the Nazi chief's hand to his executives. At that moment the Fuehrer wanted not a settlement but a "little war" to enhance his prestige, and so planned an assault on Czechoslova- kia. The "big war" would come la- ter, The upshot of the historic parley at Berchtesgaden had been that the Prime Minister took back to Bri. tain Hitler's daring and savage de- mand that he be allowed to annex the Czechoslovakian Sudetenland inhabited py Germans. On Sept. 21 the Czechoslovak gov- ernment, feeling deserted and alone, announced acceptance of the Anglo. French plans for meeting Hitler's demands. Thousands of Czechoslo- vakians gathered in the streets of their capital and with tears stream- ing down their faces listened to the government's broadcast telling that the country had lost its lone fight-- that the territorial sacrifice was the price of peace in Europe. Thus it came about that Sept, 22 Chamberlain flew to Godesberg on the Rhine to try to buy European peace at Czechoslovakia's expense. A week earlier when he left for Berch- tesgaden great throngs had cheered him as the emissary of peace, Set- ting out for Godesberg he was boo- ed by one person in the crowd gath- ered in front of his Downing. Street residence. Several clapped hands, but nobody cheered. I shall never forget the reception staged for Chamberlain by Hitler at the Godesberg airport. The dictator turned out a detachment of his fam- ous Death's Head Guardsmen -- a grim looking lot in their black uni- forms and fearsome insignia. As the Prime Minister descended from the wards him, their heavy, hobnailed boots crashing on the concrete run- way with the inevitability of armed might, The battle between Hitler and Chamberlain was bitter, and the Nazi chief all but spat in the Prime Minister's face. The conference was faced with the fact that while Czechoslovakia had bowed to the Anglo-French plan, she bad sworn to resist armed invasion and had mobilized her troops. Hit. ler's fina] fierce word demanded (1) cancellation of the Czechoslovak mobilization order, and (2) permis- sion for German troops or the Su- deten Free Corps to march into the border land already sacrificed to the Reich by the Anglo-French 'The conference was close t¢' up. ture when a harassed Cha. rlain finally salvaged it with a midnight promise to put new pressure on Prague to meet Hitler's demands. The Prime Minister demanded no mass violence againt Czecholova- kia. As the weary and haggard old man returned to his mountain-top hotel at the end of this siege he nad this tiny but significant message for the press: "I cannot say it is hopeless." 'With that Chamberlain went home to London to urge Prague to accept and so keep Europe's great armies from being unleashed. Hitler had made it known that he would brook no delay. He demanded occupation of Sudetenland by Oct. 1. Beer.Output Up, Liquor Falls Off Ottawa (CP)--A boost in beer pro- duction is reported by the Bureau of Statistics.

SURPLUS STORES Business Spotlight : By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Pres§ Business Editor The specific gatherings are: . The British Commonwealth will take a good look at itself in the next few weeks in deliberations which will affect its future and tha? of 'the world. The specific gatherings are: The conference of Prime Minis- ters opening in London October 11. The Congress of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the Bri- tish Empire in Johannesburg, Sept. 20-24. The visit of Sir Stafford Cripps to Ottawa, starting Sept. 19, These are matters of trade, poli- tics.and a way of life; and many people shudder at the casual man- ner in which Commonwealth people in peacetime take their way of life for granted. , In commonwealth action it can be argued, though many will dis- agree, Canadians are most effec- tive. In a combination of action and vocal expression, Australians may express clearer vision. This" is what Robert Menzies, leader of the Australian opposition said recently: "It is a terrifying paradox that the Empire which has twice deliv- ered the world from disaster has exhibited so many signs of breaking up in the last two years. "We can lose the Empire now by not being prepared to think about the British association. I can hardly imagine a worse calamity for the world than that Australia should \g0 at her owa gait, South Africa should sheer oft and Canada move in. the orbit of the United States, leaving Britain alone." The question seems to be, whe- ther the commonwealth has suffi- cient faith in itself to give a lead- ership, based upon experience with mutual trust, to peoples whé want to get along together. None of them thinks in terms of by-passing the United Nations, but of bringing a greater contribution to that body of supplying an example of what it should be on a 'larger scale. Most interesting are Herbert V. Evatt's remarks. The Australian Minister for, External Affairs re- fers to the newer commonwealth "to which, we are rapidly envolv- ing" and to "India, Pakistan and Ceylon. It is difficult to assess what is the inner feeling of that sub-continent in its present troubles, but it may be that just as Canada has been the touchstone between Britain and the United Starting TODAY ! 2 GRAND FEATURES 2 In an All-Color Program !

States, India may be the greater healer between east and west. In this commonwealth picture Canada has not been notably vocal. Whether or not she should be, it may be that her genius has been behind the scenes. She can prob- ably claim to have been the largest factor in shaping the development of an gssociation of free nations; in trade she initiated imperial pref- erence, which served its day and still is a factor; in war her record speaks for itself.
