Electra Sunday from Fairbanks, But, it is said, if the Sudeten area is dominated by Germany; and other minorities are also granted the right of self-determination, the sfrategic frontiers of Czechoslovakia will be impossible to defend. She will be at the mercy of any one of her more powerful neighbors. Czechoslovakia is already at the mercy of her more powerful neighbors. Any one of at least three of them—Germany, Russia or Poland—could destroy her if she were left to fight it out alone. Today, as in the past, her security lies in help from outside a situation which would not be changed by any re- vision of her frontiers. Holland has only 12.000 square miles of territory and barely 8,500,000 inhabitants. She is vulnerable at every frontier, flat as a pancake. Her security, like that of Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and similar areas elsewhere, depends upon factors other than her own strength. So it is and so it must continue to be with Czechoslovakia. Conceivably, granting to the Sudetens the right : of self-determination will not satisfy Hitler for long. (€ Territory aforesaid, a bankrupt: Preity soon he may be asking for more.
