In his opinion, the creation of this republic, composed of so many different races had been a mistake of the first order. Four provinces, Bohem�a. Moravia, Slovakia and Ruthenia, each with individual racial characteristics.  were united in one state. Then there  were three and a half millions of Sudeten Germans In the former Austrian territory.
The Sudeten people and area was the subject of the Munich agreement. Rightly or wrongly these people comprising a minority within the republic, felt they had not been justly treated by the" government at Prague. Their resentment was undoubtedly encouraged during 1938 by Chancellor Hitler of Germany, viho announced himself the protector of all German minorities throughout the world. ACTED QUICKLY
The time was propitious and ripe for Hitler to act,, asall dictators must act to keep up thelF own peoples' en-. thusiasm on new imperialistic ventures. Prance was the oi^ff -'country with any ilitary alliance with Czecho-Slovakla.

. At a recent conference of Dominion presidents in Toronto a resolution was unanimously approved covering the principle of united veteran action in all matters affecting the welfare ol Canada. The veterans desire no part in the direction of national policies of the country except as citizens. No citizens are more devoted to peace than the ex-service men and women of Canada. Their constant objective is the promotion oT peace and internal and external good-will. Their will for peace "does not, however, guarantee peace.

The reunion of Memel in the German Reich yesterday became an accomplished fact when the government of Lithuania gave formal agreement to the new set-up. Lithuania's 150,000 people are mostly Germans.
Travelling on a battleship. Hitler arrives in Memel today. His troops occupied the city yesterday after an ultimatum to the Lithuanian government.
British statesmen say Hitler threatened to occupy the whole of Litnua-nia, not Memel alone. "DOWN WITH GERMANY"

Prance was the oi^ff -country with ay military alliance with Czecho-Slovakla. France was at that time in serious civil strife and grave possibilities existed of disaffection there breaking out into civil -war. It has- been definitely �established that Prance, the ally of the Czechs, was in no position to assert strong objections to German policy at that particular time. Here is where Mr. Chamberlain took a hand, British policy being to ensure wor!^ peace. He sent Mr. Runciman as an unofiicial ambassador to investigate the grievances of the Sudeten leaders and to endeavor to find a solution acceptable to them and to the Czech governments. '-JMr. Runclman's report was not presented before Hitler arrayed his martial forces and threatened to march into the Sudeten ostensibly on the excuse of rescuing fei-low Germans.
