DR. BENES'S TASK.
One purpose of Dr. Benes's coming visit to London is to organise a world centre co-ordinating all Czech activities, says the "Daily Telegraph." This work will occupy him for several months, before he returns to his university chair at Chicago. Dr. Benes hopes eventually to link this organisation with the Czecho-Slovak" Council of nearly 2,000,000 members which ha has formed in the United States. The largest European colony* of Czech exiles, numbering. 50,000,' is in Paris. A roll is being compiled of all who would be ready to act for the liberation of their country "when the time comes." The list is national ■ rather than racial. Numbers of Sudeten German exiles and Hungarians formerly living in Czecho-Slovakia have en« rolled. Dr. Benes will stay in the Putney house which he furnished on his arrival in London early this year, and which he still regards as .his permanent home. He is likely to pay a short visit to paris before he returhl to America. • :b *
