MOSCOW'S WAYWARD SATELLITES.

As one of the great beneficiaries of the Versailles Peace Treaty, the Czechs became the favorite proteges of France, in the 1920s the greatest military power on the Continent, and, of all the French "satellites," they established the most solid and lasting Western-type parliamentary democracy. Then came the great Munich betrayal, and six months later, Czechoslovakia was occupied by the Nazis. The new Czechoslovak leader, the young Alexander Dubcek, has assured the Russians with the greatest power of conviction at his command that, whatever internal reforms the Czechs undertook, there could be no question of Czechoslovakia dropping out of the military alliance with Russia.
