Review.No. 8/II/40 Reports of 25 July 1940. T/Tos/ C Benesek announced in his message yesterday to the British Government: The recognition of the cal. government is not only for the csl. People, a moral and political inspiration, but also the best proof for all still free European countries and the overseas countries that England is determined to fight until the end for the right and independence of the small peoples. - The Manchester Guardian nimat refers to this message and explains that Beneach knows the story and builds on it. The right will play a greater role in post-war Europe than it has ever played in the League of Nations. The new csl. parliament will have 40 members. Its task will be to organize the csll. Armee, who came from Prankreich to England. Butler spoke about the new c sl. government and explained: When the French resistance completely collapsed, the c sll. Soldiers did not fight and continued to fight. So it is the Czech tradition, We are proud that the csl, soldiers stand by our side. The csli. pilots have carried the war to Germany several times. Ee will not last long, and they will not only visit Germany temporarily, but they will soon be able to settle in their liberated homeland again. Butler then paid tribute to the heroism of the csl. students, who in the previous autumn left their lives for the homeland. I can rightly explain that here in England there will always be great wonder for the c sl. people. In the last 20 years the people have shown that it is able to establish a real democracy. The people were busy and free and his state will be an example for all supporters of a people's government. It speaks the prime minister of the csl. government, Monsignor Jan Srámekı The Czechoslovaks stand where justice and justice are being rabbled. First we gathered our forces in France and stayed there until the last moment as long as France fought. The csl. National Committee represented the csll. people there in agreement with France, England, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia and was above all entitled to carry out the French-Czechoslovak Treaty of 2 October 1939, according to which a new csls. army could be formed on the French soil. The greatest efforts were therefore devoted to this army, which is a continuation of the army of the ČsR. However, just as our soldiers began to cross their weapons with the enemy, France began to sank around them.
