BERLIN, Oct. 7 (AP) Nazi circles predicted confidently today remnants of Czechoslovakia soon would have close economic bonds with Germany. The ties would be so firm, they said, even the transfer of Czecho slovak populations on a lnrge scale from the "wrong side of the new borders to the "right ti;i?" might prove unnecessary. They pointed out Czechoslovakia had lost most of its industrial areas to Germany and P.oland and would become a preponderantly Agrarian country. Germany is the only nation which could buy farm products of the new little stnte, they said. Some nazls expected either Ru dolf Beran or former Premier Milan Hodza both members of the Czechoslovak Agrarian republic party, Slovaks and acceptable to Germany to become Czechoslo vakia's next president in succes sion to Edounrd Benes, who .re signed Wednesday. With a pro-German president, the nazls said, the way would bo clear for a close relationship be tween the two countries. .

German and Czechoslovak sources indicated the Issue of Su detenland areas with mixed impu tations might be settled without the plebiscite provided for in the Mu nich agreement. Nazi sources believed Czecho slovakia would havj no choice but to form what in due time would bet time a customs union with Ger many. . Germany will do everything pos sible to encourage such a develop ment, it was said. "The memories of Versailles (post-war pence treaty between Germany and the Allies) are too keen with us to make us want to impress a new Versailles upon the Czechs," a foreign office spokes- (Contlnued on page 6.)
