Adolf Hitler Takes Czechia Into Reich
- Fuchar Puts Slovakia
Under German Protection;
Carpatho-Ukraine Falls
To Hungary
Prague, March 16- (UP)—Adolf Hitler preclaimed to the world today that in accordance with the "law of self-preservation" he had occupied Czechoslovakia and that it henceforth became part of the German Reich as a protectorate.
He announced that the Czech provinces, Bohemia and Moravia, would be autonomous and would have their own administration.
Josef Tiso, president of Slovakia,
today asked a 'holt Hitler to assume
protection of S. cia and Hitler did so.
The exact degree of autonomy which will be permitted the remnants of the Czechlovakia republic was uncertain but it was indicated that Hitler would keep an iron grip on the territory which is now definitely "Reich territory."
The surprise of Hitler's action regarding Skłodawka was illustrated by the fact that *I.* and Hungary already had recognized the Tiso government, but now it became obvious that there never had been any intention of permitting a free Slovakia under occupation. A man with Hitler to undermine the Czechoslovak republic, after which he turned over to Slovakia to the Fuehrer.
The swift action by Hilter today left only Carpathia-Hungary's future uncertain, but it appeared likely that it would—as in fact it already has—fall to Hungary, whose troops now occupy virtually all of the Area as they seek to crush armed resistance by Ruthenian separatists. The area been severely damaged were reported officially on both sides.
Order Czech Retreat
The Ruthenian press spokesman said that Czech troops began retreating from Carpatho-Ukraine as the Hungarians pushed ahead. Most of the Czechs went westward through a heavy snowstorm and ended up to frontier guards in Rumania, having crossed the line to safety.
Gen. Lew Prechala ordered the Czechs to retreat after Premier Augustin Volein of Carpatho-Ukraine, who vainly attempted to declare the state independent, offered it to Rumania as a last resort.
Rumania declined unofficially to accept the offer by Premier Volosin to take over Carpatho-Ukraine, and the Premier fled into Rumania, leaving the state to the Hungarian troops which fought to crush the remnants of Ruthenian separatist resistance.
With the extension of greater Germany to include both Czechia and Slovakia, the Nazi Fuehner has added 75,000 square miles to the Reich since he came into power six years ago and taken on an additional population of about 25,000,000, including non-Germans whom he had said in public speeches he never wanted to see within the Reich.
