Reprisals

It was announced from Prague, capital of Czecho-Slovakia, that Yugo-Slavia will join in the Czecho-Slovakian policy of reprisals against Hungary.

Dr. Edouard Benes, CzechoSlovakian Foreign Minister, said that the Government opposed the principle of retaliation but, in this case, felt constrained to resort to reprisals in order to bring to an end a long series of frontier disputes, one of which ended in the killing of a Czech customs officer.
