S e e k 'l‘0 Negotiate Further In Crisis.

PARIS, Sept. 19-—(AP)—-CzeCh- oslovakin will ask for a chance to plead her side of the case before giving" Grcat Britain and Rance a definite answer on their reported plan to cede her Sudetcn arch. to Germany, it was foamed on gclxi authority tonight.

A source in close touch with Prague said the Czccoslovak reply, neither flatly rejecting nor accept- ing the proposals advanced today by the two powers, would be deliv- ered in London tomorrow.

Since Prime Minister Chamber- lain flew to Berchtesgatlcn to hear Chancellor Hitler‘s side of the Czcchoslovak-Sudeteii German dis- pute, this source said, the Czecho- slovak Governments reply would contend that in all fairness the western democracies should give equal attention to its objections.

This move was represented by Czechoslovak circles in Paris as throwing the Sudeten problem buck into the hands of the French and British Governments who to- day through their cabinets aprov- ed proposals formulated at a con- ference of their premiers in Lon- don yesterday.

Under terms of the Soviet- Czecliosiovuk Treaty of alli- ance, Russia is pledged to aid Czechoslovakia it‘ slie were invaded and it‘ rrunee gave aid first. An unanswered question was what llussia. would do if Czechoslovakia. were invaded and France did not help.

The Soviet Government has given no indication and Czechoslovak circles here sliow nu expectation that Moscow would act in such a. case They‘ fccl confident- that Russia would aid Czechoslo- vakia if France did.

Some Soviet circles con- tcntiei] developments of the weekend, in wliich- France and Great Britain were reported agreed on a. plan to dismember Czechoslovakia to appease Chan- cellor lilitier oi tjerinziny, proved what the Soviet press has been saying for some time
