HIS FATHER’S SON

M, JAN MASARYK ; By Air Mail—Own Correspondent! LONDON. 3rd November. M. Jan Masaryk, the Czechoslovakian Minister in London, will give up his post directly the British loan are complete. He will then visit, America to fulfil a lecture tour engagement, and in all probability settle down afterwards in England. Lnder the Nazi regime which i* now inevitable at Prague there arc no prospects even in diplomacy for the devoted son of the late President Masaryk. His diplomatic energies to the last instant of the Czech crisis were dedicated to a belief and an endeavour that the Sudeten grievances, so far as they had any genuine existence, should he honourably met, and his disappointment when this expectation was not realised was tragic indeed. Ex-President Bones, though suffering from a severe nervous breakdown, is likely to make a good recovery, with his fine constitution, now the agony of his recent ordeal is over, and he, too, will lecture in U.S.A. But the ex-Presi-dent will probably take up an academic post in America and make that country his home.
