SLOVAK DEMANDS
STILL BEING PRESSED AUTONOMY RIDICULED. REUNION WITH HUNGARY WANTED. (Received This Day, 11 a.m.) LONDON, October 14. Ruthenian husk-bread, reputedly the poorest food in the world, has been served in the sumptuous Savoy Hotel. Professor Francis Jehlicks, successor to the late Father Hlinka as chairman of the Slovak Council, offered the bread to the diplomatic correspondents of British and Dominion newspapers, symbolising the poverty of the Slovaks under Czech domination. Professor Jehlicks claimed that the autonomy granted to Slovakia was farcical. The Slovaks demanded a plebiscite to decide their right to return to Hungary to which they had been attached for a thousand years. The reunion was essential, he said, geographically and ethnologically. Professor Jehlicks had important interviews in London and is visiting Berlin and Rome, seeking assistance.
