Earlier the Spanish insurgent high

to Uncle Sam, Anglo-Saxon prestige

The one hope is that China and
Russia, given encouragement and

Britain, We already know, cannot and
will not, no matter what the moral

ton Masaryk went to that country
and negotiated with the new Soviet
regime to take charge of the Czech
prisoners of war. These numbered
approximately $4,000 and Or. Ma
saryk formed them into an inde-
pendent army, some of which he
transferred to the western front to
aid the allies.
In 1918 Masaryk came to the United
States and shortly after succeeded in
bringing about the Lansing declara-
ton of sympathy with Czechoslovakia
and Yugoslavia independence. 1t was
then that he interested President
Wilson in the cause OF the small
nations. Shortly afterward the Amer
lean and allied governments receg-
nized the Masaryk National Council
as the de facto government OF the
future Czechoslovak republic.
The republic was proclaimed while
DR.. Masaryk was in the United States
and he was elected its first President
in November, 1918. 1t was in 1920
when he was reelected that the
National Assembly voted to make him
President for life.
