SLOVAKS

Mr. Karel Pergler, Envoy Extraordin ary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the new Czechoslovak Republic to the Court of Japan, while visiting Washington re- cently on his way to his new post in the Urient, gave the following interview to the Washington correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor:—

"It would be more hypocrisy for anyone to contend that the Czechoslovak Republic has no obstacles to surmount and no diff culties to meet. Yet it can be truthfully said that its future appears bright, and that, 18 is far on the road to stabilization This is not only the judgment of the the serves DAE at compatent foreign observers

country), to the British West Indies, a voyage of three months duration. Sho had a crew of 69, 34 of whom were Lascars. As you may imagine, a boy of 15 years of age, working with those Lascars, a'low and a'loft, and going freely among the passengers of all classes, from all quarters of India, I acquired a considerable know- ledge of habits customs and characters of those amongst whom I lived and work- ein cyclones of the Eastern, sens,

The stories of dissensions among the Czeens and, the Blovaks are false. attempt has been made by the Magyar5, and one or two men in their birt, to give the impression that there is a probability of a break between the two branches of the nation, and that the Slovaka would prefer Magyar overlordship to the part nership which they are enjoying with the Czechs in their new state, There is no doubt that the internal Affairs of the State will be settled amicably and satisfactorily for the Slovaks. Indeed the adminis tion of Slovakia is within Slovak hands. How the Czechoslovak Republic is taking care of dlovakia is best seen in the fact that since the national liberation it has erected in Slovakia 4,000 schools

Under Hungarian régime, the Blovaks did not enjoy the most primitive school facili-

ties.

CLAIMS OF THE MAGYARS,

When the Magyars now talk of pro- serving the integrity of Hungary, and their historical rights, they are trying to throw into of

The phrase "integrity of Hungary invented to accomplish the Magyar deaire to dominate the Rumaniana, Yugoslavs and Czechoslovaky The Magyars are vainly seeking to save something from wreckage. In their ridiculous claim to Slovakia and other territory, they cannot base their argument even upon a claim of historical right, because it is an his torical fact that before the Blovaky tell under Magyar rule they were united with the Czechs in one empire. Furthermore, they cannot appeal to the principle of nationality, because Slovakia was never Magyar

the latest

According to Slovakia has 3,000,000 inhabitanta and only 600,000 of these are Magyars. It is inevitable that there shall be minorities in every mid-European state, because in mid-Europe you cannot draw a straight line between the various nationalities All European states have minorities, and the problem is to safeguard the rights of these minorities. It is a confusion of terms and often, even of thought, to say that the idea of nationality applies to minorities. This idea applies to nation- alities, not the fragments of nationalities and minorities. In the case of minorities it is superseded by the idea of civil rights and civil liberties.

POLICY OF PEACE ADOPTED, FRCS

Indiane, the discipline and good con duct is unsurpassed, even by the Royal Navy of Britain. Had I the time, I could tell you of many acts of splendid courage performed by members of our crews. Had it not been for their pluck, would the great Calcutta, community of commerce be new in existence. I doubt it, for your very lives (to say nothing of your profits) would have been greatly imperilled bad not your brave seamen faced again End again, although peaceful citizens at their peaceful avocations, what has been called, by common consent, the deadliest menace over experienced in any war."
