The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Miscellaneous (10)

Dr. Hazen says of the Czecho-slovaks: A people that has shown such intelligence, such an appreciation of the issues involved in the present struggle, in which the Allies have made such errors of judgment, have so often hesitated, delayed, backed and filled; a people that has displayed such unanimity of feeling and such a sense of subordination to its leaders, is a peole worthy of independence, a people which, under most perplexing and unfavorable conditions has given every evidence that it will know how to use its independence wisely, when it comes.

Fifty years ago Palacký, the great Czech historian said: “We existed before Austria, and shall exist after her.” And now his saying has come true.

The October issue of the “Unpopular Review” has for its leading article a contribution by Jaroslav Císař, secretary to President Masaryk, entitled “Peace Via Austria.”
