CZECHOSLOVAKIA
RIGHT TO INDEPENDENCE. Czechaslovakia, on which the eyes of the world are turned anxiously at present, was “born” in France, at Darney, France, and its birth i sdue to be celebrated there on June 20. Darney is a small town ten miles from the world-famous health resort of Vittel. Czechoslovakia as a national entity was conceived in Pittsburgh, where representatives of the Czechs and Slovaks signed the “Treaty of Pittsburgh,” but it was at Darney that the “birth” took place. It was on June 30, 1918, that President Raymond Poincare, speaking for France, announced that his government had recognised Czechoslovakia and her right to be an independent nation. Other powers followed suit, and the new State recognised de jure became a nation de facto after the Armistice.
