such a question was asked
testifies to the great trust in the
moral authority of the great
statesman. Such a question
shows the reliance in the in
finite wisdom of the Father of
the Country. There exists no
doubt, that the pupil and COLA
borator of the first President
Liberator, who was designated
as successor, president Benes,
has carried and is carrying out
the testament of his master in
the latter's spirit. He did and
will do with the rest of the Gee
choslovaks that which he pro-
missed at the Prague Castle be-
fore the coffin containing the
remains of T. G.. Masaryk: "We
shall remain faithful to your
testament"
I'm our second struggle for
freedom Masaryk remained
our great teacher We were
often asking ourselves whether
Masaryk would agree with
what we do and how we do it.
We remember the times of the
first world war when he stayed
in London at Hampstead, when
he used to take a bus, in order
to save transportation costs,
when he used to take his lunch
con at the inexpensive Lyons
restaurant, when at night he
used to take a walk on Hamp-
stead Heath, where he thought
about his nation and about the
worries and problems of a fight
for freedom.
Nov, when the Czechs and
Slovaks have again achieved
freedom and independence,
when the United Nations =
with our assistance also and
with the help of the great Anne
rican democracy have liberated
the world-when we are build
ing a new life, the great spirit
of T. G.. Masaryk is again an
inspiration and example for all
of us. His teaching lives eter-
nally. AS in this great country
your second and beloved coun-
try, Lincoln, Washington, and
other leading men and creators
of the American democracy are
remembered and their ideals
are followed - thus also the
great European statesman and
philosopher Masaryk, is a per-
manent source and creator of
our liberal life, and will remain
with us forever. His spirit will
Influence the future genera
lions in building the character
of the nation. In the Czecho-
slovak Republic there is no per-
son who does not recognize the
greatness of Masaryk, even if
he does not agree with some of
the details of his teachings.
"Masaryk was the ideal per-
sonification of the Czechoslo-
yak unity. By origin Slovak and
Czech, he admirably united
Bohemia, Moravia and Slova-
kia. He belonged in the same
measure to the Czechs and Slo-
vaks, as we'll, and the Czechs
and Slovaks will remain the
nation of Masaryk."
