COMMISSIONER PERGLER’S WORK.

In addition to his diplomatic work in Washington Commissioner Charles Pergler is very active in telling Americans about the progress of affairs in the Czechoslovak Republic. Being an excellent speaker he receives invitations to address the most influential gatherings in various parts of the United States. Thus he spoke on March 22 in New York before the League for Political Education; on April 22 he talked to members of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce on trade relations between the South and Bohemia. The New York Chamber of Commerce invited Mr. Pergler to give an address before their annual meeting on May 1, and a few days later he spoke in Philadelphia before the American Academy of Political and Social Science. His next address was given in Memphis before the local chamber of commerce on May 5, followed by four meetings in St. Louis on May 7th and 8th. He spoke in Chicago at a luncheon given in his honor bythe Iroquis Club on May 19 and the following day delivered an address to the students of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. At the end of the month he spoke before important gatherings in the city of Boston.

From his recent literary work one ought to mention an article in the Independent on “The Birth of the Czechoslovak Republic,” an article on the “Czechoslav” in the Christian Herald, and a discussion of “The Importance to Europe of the Czechoslovak Republic” in the May Current Opinion.
