Sudeten Germans refuse to resume talks until incident settled

Prague Sept. 9. The Sudeten German party led by Konrad Henlein declined to restart negotiations with the Czech government over the minority crisis until the Maehrisch Ostrau incident is liquidated. Dr Ernst Kundt said satisfaction with the Czech investigation is required before talks resume. Despite the stand, the government planned to publish its new minority offer, aiming to start negotiations this weekend.
