Was Czecho-Slovakia, but also within that country work first for organisations and for merging of organisations, and co-ordination of forces, and second on political and diplomatic issues.

Dr. Benes' brilliant stroke in telegraphing to President Roose- velt, Premier Daladier, Prime

Minister Chamberlain, and Com missar for Foreign Affairs Lit- vinoff had been an important move made at the right moment. This was followed by other action, all with the same purpose-to con- serve the Czecho-Slovak Republic and State de jure. Immediately after the taking of Prague, official representatives of the state in all parts of the world were faced with the demand to turn over their of- fices to the German Government.

The Czecho-Slovak ministers in London, Paris, Washington, Mos- cow, and Warsaw, and in other countries, refused these demands,

same reason.

Organisation of a unified front for Czecho-Slovakia met with re- markable success otherwise. It is to be remembered that it took three years during the World War for the unification of all efforts in a single cause. While to-day, after a few weeks, a real political basis for the legal existence of Czecho- Slovakia has been established. The Czech state as it exists de jure to day has now set up the basis on which to build the future state and on which to take part in a future settlement in Europe.

Benes has been spontaneous and complete. There can be no doubt about it that the people of this na tion are organised now and ready to do their part in the struggle that is coming.

This unified action is indeed dif- ferent from what came into being during the World War. Actually, it was long after the war had started that open revolt was raised against Austria-Hungary by the Czech peoples. Yet history is clear that these people did, their part to over- throw the dual monarchy under which they had been forced to live.
