Today, the Slovak people
of Slovakia do not desire to
secede from Czecho-Slova-
kia; they have openly and
forcefully expressed them
selves time and again for the
Czech and Slovak joint state.
But they do wish for the
embodiment of the Pitts
burgh Pact within the Con-
stitution OF the Republic.
Today, it is a known fact
that the knowledge of the
Pittsburgh Pact was with
held from the Slovaks for al
most a year; Slovak leaders
of Slovakia did not know of
it's existence, for reasons best
known to the heads of the
government. True it is, that
there is a small fraction of
renegade Slovaks, the Mag
yarones, who are in the pay
of the Magyars and who are
still advocating the return
of the Slovaks to the Mag
vars. But that faction is not
representative Of the people
of Slovakia. The people of
Slovakia but ask to enjoy
and exercise the inherent
rights of a free people. A
definite Slovak policy must
be adopted by the Prague
government.
Under the terms of the
Constitution of the Czecho-
Slovak Republic, Slovakia is
free to develop her own cul-
ture, her own language, and
her own ideals. But this has
not been actually so. Even
tually the Slovaks of Slova-
kia were to take over the
government of their own
territory and become an
equal partner in the Repuh-
lie which they formed with
the Czechs. The Slovaks as
a nation still clamor for the
freedom for which they had
sacrificed so much during
the World War. The only
literature one can get about
the situation in Czecho-Slo-
vakia is that endorsed by
the government - and that
! is not Slovak propaganda,
Freedom of the press has
been muzzled and the claims
of the Slovaks fall upon
deaf ears. The Allies were
directly responsible for the
formation of the new State
but very little is done by the
Allies today to guarantee
the freedom of the Slovaks
in Slovakia. 1t seems para
doxical, but the fact re
mains, that the very mer
who proclaimed and estab
lished the Czecho-Slovak Re
public, have acted and ar'
acting in a manner that un
dermines the very founda

THE STORY OF THE SLOVAKS
BY P. A. HROBAK.

dROBAK.
the child of the World War?
Can the government expect
to survive if it disregards
the demands of some g.
100000 Slovaks? The well
fare of the two nations, the
Czech and the Slovak, is
jeopardized by the govern
ment that proclaims that
there is but one people -
the "Czechoslovaks' Unless
the rights of the Slovaks to
rule Slovakia are recognized
by the Prague government,
the Slovaks will never rest
satisfied within the Czecho-
Slovak Republic. And this is
not conducive to the welfare
Of the Republic!
THE SLOVAkS OF THE
UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
The Slovaks endured many
hardships in their home
land; they were dominated
by foreign powers for over
a period of ten centuries.
Under the conditions, they
could not as a distinct group,
as a nation, express them
selves openly and develop
themselves culturally and
politically as Slovaks, that
is not freely. Little wonder
then, that so many Slovaks
seized the first opportunity
to escape the rule of the
Magyars. AS many other
peoples, the Slovaks turned
to the land of opportunity,
to the land where freedom
of speech and press, free
dom of religious and ma
tional development were
guaranteed by law, to the
United States of America.
Truthfully we might say
that the Slovaks emigrated
to the United States for the
same reasons that prompted
the other peoples to do so
When did the first Slo.
vaks come to America? We
