The Slovak League is also engaged successfully in collecting thousands of dollars their aim being to complete the million-dollar collection which was first proclaimed as their goal early in 1917. The number of local branches is still increasing, so that the last branch is Number 295. In addition to collecting money the Slovak League is also obliged to undertake cases with which the Bohemian National Alliance is not burdened, for the Slovaks in America are still the only branch of their people with freedom of speech and action. Until the Magyars are expelled from the Slovak sections in Hungary, the Slovak League of America must protect the interests of their brothers at home.

The officers of the League are therefore busy gathering statistical data and preparing pamphlets for use in the old country, which will inform the people 2over there of the share which the Slovaks in America had in the great work of liberating the united Czechoslovak state. The League also plans to take an important part in the economic upbuilding of Slovakia, which has great undeveloped natural resources. They intend to find capital among Slovaks and among [their] American friends to be employed in the old country.
