Official announcement has been made of the appointment of Dr. J. Štěpánek as minister of the Czechoslovak Republic to the United States. Dr. Štěpánek has been acting minister of foreign affairs at Prague, while Dr. Edward Beneš has been in attendance on the Peace Conference in Paris, and his appointment emphasizes the importance attached by the Czechoslovak government to the Washington post.

Charles Pergler, for nearly a year commisioner of the Republic in Washington, has been selected to serve as minister to Japan. Dr. Osuský, minister to England, is also at this time filling the post of Czechoslovak plenipotentiary at the peace conference, as Minister Beneš has finally returned to Prague, after four years of unexampled activity for his country.
