There is fear that everyone will not be accommodated at the funeral services of the deceased Mayor Cermak because a large crowd of people is expected. Therefore, a proposition was sent by the Czechoslovak World's Fair Committee that the Czechs and the Slovaks should hold their own services in the honor of Mayor Cermak's memory.

The Slovaks are willing to cooperate with the Czechs in that matter. But only on the condition that they will be known under their proper name, as Slovaks, and not Czechoslovaks.
