conditions which now confront the
State."
The resignation was accepted an-
aninvously by the ,full council of
ministers.
The Munich agreement of the four
big powers, compelling Czechoslova-
kia to cede the Sudetenland to Ger-
many, represented a complete col-
lapse of the •foreign policy with
which Dir, ,Benes had been closely
associated since the founding of the
state 120 yearn ago.
The .pressure of Eritai n and
France to compel Dr. Benes and his
Government to accept submission to
the terms of Adolf Hitler proved s
tremendous 'blow to his hopes.
Informed persons felt that his de-
parture from office—and possibly
front the country—might remove the
current acute situation and make
collaboration with Germany possible.
Dr. Benes has been the target for
hitter attacks by Chancellor Hitler
and other German leaders and for a
scathing campaign of clenunpiation in' Benes remained in Prague and or -

secret police got on his trail and one
dark night in July, 1916; he crawled
past a sentry on the Bavarian fron-
tier and, using a forged passport,
reached Switzerland.
'There he joined Masaryk and un-

councils in France, Russia, England
and America, kept up a process of
"boring from within" in Austria,
formed armies from Czech exiles
and refugees in Russia, France, and
Italy, and in October, 191118, won full
recognition for the new State. Pro-
fessor M'asaryk, named head of the
government, promptly selected Dr.
Benes as his foreign minister and

let it be known that Dr. Benes was
to continue in charge of the foreign
portfolio. He kept active charge of it
even through the period ,From April,
19211, to October, 11920, when he was
Premier of the Repnblic.
Dr. Benes was born May 28, ;1m
at I{olzalny, Bohemia, the youngest
of a large family of a Czech peasant
couple. He made his way through
poverty to the university :of Prague
and there came under the Influence

teacher in the university, Later Dr.

.Acting President until an election
could be arranged to choose Dr.
Benes' successor.
The election will be conducted by
the National Assembly, composed of
the chamber of deputies and the sen-
ate sitting together.
General Syrovy 'in a .broadcast
said:
"Our policy will aim at friendly
relations with everybody. In order to
lire in security it is necessary to cul-
tivate good relations with our
neighbors,
"We shall do everything in our
power to give satisfaction to the
justified claims of the Slovaks and
Subcarpathian Russians (Rnthen-
ians). Our state will be based on
equality of the three peoples,"
Some sources said that the Benes
resignation followed renewed Ger-
man pressure based on Herr Hitler's
personal antagonism to the Czecho-
slovak President.
