CZECH PREMIER SOON
TO VISIT AMERICA
M. Benes Coming to Thank q. s..
To Speak and to Get Much
ke Needed Rest.
BY A. r. DECKER.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News Copyright, 1924.
VIENNA, May 15.--Edouard Benes,
premier of Czechoslovakia and one of
the leading statesmen of the world, is
going to the United States in the mid
die Of July.
NJ. Benes is going to America, he
said, for three reasons: First, to
visit Washington and see President
Coolidge. to officially thank the
United States for the aid rendered
Czechoslovakia ever since President
Masaryk was in the United States
during the war; second to lecture in
"illiamstown, and third, to get away
from politics in Europe and enjoy a
much needed rest after five years of
intense toll.
Optimistic for Pence.
The Czechoslovakian premier is op
timlstic in regard to the outlook for
peace in Europe. He interprets the
herman elections as follows:
Germany went to the right, and
the Socialists, who were against the
treaties, have lost Further, the Ger
man elections will show Europe the
necessity of union and of making a
settlement"
Regarding the French elections he
said that now Frances position in
the world will be better and France
VIII be ready for peace. 1t is GER
tain sign, he declared, that the
reparations question will be settled
soon.
Speaking of CzechoslovaKia' finan-
cal obligations under the treaties NJ.
Benes said it is not fair to penaliZe
Czechoslovakia by reducing other ma
lions debts without correspondingly
reducing the sums demanded from
Czechoslovakia. 1t ought to be just
the contrary, placing a premium upon
assuming tax burdens and placing
sne's financial house in order.
Seeks Many Alliances.
NJ Benes thinks it necessary to set
tie the European debt question before
tzechoSlovakia can arrange to fund
the amount due the United States.
The Czech premieTs visit to Rome
is to enlarge the scope of the Italian
Jugoslav agreement by including
Czechoslovakia in the compact, which
will be political as we'll as economi-
cal. He is trying to multiply inter
national accordS which will tend to
make reconstruction possible for his
industrial nation. He has a far
sighted plan which is succeeding re-
markably we'll He does not give the
scheme a name in order not to alarm
the ultranationaliStS. He is working
slowly, thoughtfully and carefully.

GETS S1,OOO,OOO GIFT.
Cardinal Mundelein Receives Dona-
tions for Seminary Construction.


CHICAGO, May 15.-George Cardi-
nal Mundelein was presented with
two checks for 100000 each, the
money to be used for the construction
of a seminary for training priests at
Area, ILL.,, as the climax of the third
day of his homecoming.
The presentation was made after
solemn pontifical mass of thanksgiv-
ing at Holy Name Cathedral. and took
place at a luncheon attended by 700
members of the Catholic clergy.
Bishop Hoban of Chicago presided
at the luncheon and presented the
contributions throughout the arch
diocese yesterday.
Cardinal Mundelein in response to
Fluctuations declared:
"A seminary for the training OF
priests is a project very near to my
heart If you had presented this
million dollars to me personally, L
would Immediately have turned it
over for the building of the seminary.
l discussed the building of the in
stitution with the holy father at
Rome and he added his wish that
might soon be able to build such d
seminary"
Chicago's first prince Of the church
then paid tribute to the priests of
the past, declaring:
we should not attribute the pres
ent state of the church in the arch
diocese of Chicago to the efforts of
the priests and laymen of today 1t
behind them is the precious heritage
of the past-the records of the
priests and the nuns who made their
sacrifices long ago"
