190 - 34 - Vojta Beneš took care of the money roundings, organized Naue branches and provided for everything that was publicly shameful. He became the organizer of our National Association and took us such a grose: a piece of work from our shoulders. The value of his work in Anerika seems to us not only to be in what he has done, but also in what we have done to others, for if we had not been to him, we would not have been able to do all that we did. Vojta Beneš came to America early in 19l5, he had a lot of grievances, especially in the Czech leader Išek, who was soon eliminated by the cracking intervention of John R.Rathom, who told him treason about the Czech cause and made it impossible for him. Prof, Masaryk considers this matter to be very important in an attribution, because Išek and then Melichar were the greatest pests of our cause. Since the appearance of Prof, Masarik in the Swiss public sphere, a new era of the Czechoslovak revolution begins. Until July 1915 everyone did what he could and how he could best do it. There was no authority; there was no one who would have chosen another for a work. Everyone stood in a place he thought best to fill. Since the moment that Prof. Masaryk appeared publicly in Switzerland, all the staff began to stand behind their leaders, it is interesting that there was no single case of dispute as to whether anyone other than Prof. Maaryk should be the leader of the Czechoslovak revolution - neither among the Czechs nor among the Slovaks. The personality of Masaryk was perhaps the only possible and acceptable authority for the foreign Czechs and Slovaks in our national. Fight. After the public appearance of Feof. Masaryks soon came Dr. Benesch in the Schveiz, It already formed certain goals, all plans and programs, The greatest happiness of our foreign defense struggle was the fact that the revolution was led by Masaryk and Bereech, who complemented each other and had unlimited trust in each other.
