Germany’s PRAGUE Diesel-powere- thumb Here are ten prominent ones 1 The new government recognizes that Czechoslovakia’s future economic policy must be oriented toward Germany 2 The new government is of the right Although not fascist it sympathizes with authoritarian regimes "authoritary democracy" is the way some observers describe an e the new set-u- p The government leans over backward to avoid offending Germany and takes counsel of Berlin in 3 weighty matters It has accepted the nazi demand that Czechoslovakia remain a dead letter as far International affairs are conLittle cerned Entente The (Czechoslovakia Rumania and Jugoslavia) has been wiped from the boards as far as Czechoslovakia is concerned Germany always considered the entente to be a French instrument forged against Germany
