Dr. Benes, "Europe's Smartest Little Statesman," was quite able to add up the Stalin blood purge, the Chamberlain tribulations, the Blum uncertainties and the collapse of Austria. Smart, quick, the President rushed into effect measures he hoped would insure peace between Czechoslovakia and Germany. The 3,200,000 Czechoslovaks who are radically German and whose principal leader is blatant Nazi Konrad Henlein-involved only a few months ago in a homosexual scandal -are to be given by a bill announced by the Cabinet last week the right to fill...
