Offprint of an article by Czechoslovakia's president condemning Hitler's occupation of Czechoslovakia. Reprinted from the October 1941 issue of The Dalhousie Review of Halifax, Nova Scotia. "It is an unconcealed plan of Hitler's Germany to make the subjugated Slavonic nations into a mass of slaves which would be driven from one part of German Europe to another, just as German political and economic interests demanded, and might even be removed from Central Europe entirely and sent to the Urals or Siberia, as has several times been expressly suggested in Nazi publications; they might be simply extirpated, should this be in any way advantageous to the Herrenvolk," President Benes writes.

Signed by President Edvard Benes on the half-title page.A beautiful, fine press book, it contains the text of the oration, including the sections that were omitted during the ceremony, President Benes gave at the funeral of the first President of Czechoslovakia Tomas Masaryk (1850 - 1937). Known as "The President-Liberator" and "The Great old Man of Europe," Masaryk would be elected in 1918, after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and re-elected three times - 1920, 1927, and 1934 - with a special provision to the Constitution, which exempted him from the two-term limit. Under his leadership, Czechoslovakia would become the strongest democracy in Central Europe. Edvard Benes (1884 - 1948) was a leader of the Czechoslovak Independence Movement, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the second President of Czechoslovakia from 1935 to 1938 (when he was forced to resign by the Germans) and again from 1940 to 1948. Although he was not a Communist, Benes was a skilled diplomat and, realizing that an alliance with the Soviet Union was more beneficial than an alliance with Poland, he vetoed the plans for a Polish-Czechoslovakian Confederation and signed an entente with the Soviets in 1943. 2.

Benes, who was the president of Czechoslovakia then in exile in London, reports on the action of Jan Masaryk concluding a treaty with the British government on the "final liquidation" of the Munich agreement and the return of the seized lands come war's end.
