Baldwin, July 2, 1941.

Mr. John Andrews,
President of the Rotary
Lawrence, Kans,

Dear Mr. Andrews:

In spring 1939 I wonn a scholarship at Baker
University, Baldwin, Kansas, while studying at Charles Univer-
sity in Prague, Czechoslovakia, The Germans occupied the country
before I could leave and it took me almost one year before I
succeeded to come to the United States, I am now studying at
Baker and financing my studkes chiefly by lecturing. Since summer
1940 I spoke for eighty four groups in Kansas: churches, service
clubs- Rotary at Ottawa, Burlingame, Kiwanis at El Dorado, Kan-
sas City, Lions at Newton - chambers of commerce and schools,

I want to ask you if you could use me as a spea-
ker in your club some time, My theme would be "Why I like Amerika",
I am contrasting the situation in Czechoslovakia during the repu-
blic build upon the American pattern - the Czechs were called the
Yankees of Europe - and the "New Order" during the Nazi occupation,
I would also briefly mention how I came over, why I like it here
so well and give alittle survey of the present European situation

which I am following closely. I would talk about 30 min. with
a question period if desired.and for a fee of *10.00.

I would appreciate your attention and kind
consideration of my request,

Very sincerely yours

I ref blivee
