FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
DR. BENES’ CONFIDENCE FUTURE OF THE CZECHS (Official Wireless) (Received August 10, 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, August 9 Speaking to Czechoslovak airmen when he visited a technical training station, Dr v Benes, the President of Czechoslovakia, states that the recognition of his country’s Government by Britain is the “first hopeful turning point of the Czechoslovakian republic since Munich.” These airmen, Dr. Benes said, were the first of the Czechoslovak soldiers to take part in operations against the
enemy, and he thanked them on behalf of his nation for their fight for liberty. Stating that his country had started to rise again, Dr. Benes said: “I have complete confidence that the republic will be restored as a strong, free, democratic, happy State, even better than before. We have intentionally linked our destiny and our struggle with the struggle of the great European democracy represented by the United Kingdom and the British Empire.” Dr. Benes concluded by a reference to the possibility that these Czechoslovak airmen might in the course of their duties visit their motherland and fly over its capital as “ messengers of our future victory.”
