His brother, who lives in Prague, is also Cheche. Stairsically supported members of the Czech Legion in France and was in constant contact with Czech emigrants in the Protectorate as well as throughout their flight. His relations with the Škoda representative, the former Minister M a c h a t ý , are reported below. The position of the Belgian authorities on the activity of the Czech resistance movement was not uniform; while the valons sympathized with it, it was the opposite in the Flemish regions. In the late spring, the Belgian authorities were said to have been more cautious, so that the emigration of the Czechs to the legion in France was reduced and a Belgian-Czechoslovak legion was established in Belgium. Czechs' anti-rich activity in Belgium was supported by the Association Belgo-Tcheco-Slovaque. One of the most important figures was Miloslav S 1 i v a, 48, Avenue de Boitsfort, Telefon 4 8 2 4 3 4 . With these circles also the former Czechoslovak envoy in Brussels, Dr. S 1 v i k. In Senator Fr a n c o i s , Brussels, 2, Avenue Ernestine, chairman of the Belgian-Czechoslovak Chamber of Commerce, the Czech Niderstand movement in Belgium finds its strongest support.
