Albert Mamatey and Ján Janček

“ All world has adopted the great American principle: Government of the people, for the people and by the people. Now you will free, now you will yourselves decide your future as free citizens of the Czechoslovak Republic.
We know what misery and horror you had to bear during the war; but your liberty was worth all that suffering. Use your liberty with reason, loving each other as brothers. Slovaks and Czechs together, so that our beloved Slovakia may prosper politically, culturally and economically, from Prespurk to Užhorod. ”

“ With feelings of great joy and infinite happiness we send to you, brothers and sisters in Slovakia, warm greetings and heartiest congratulations, because after a thousand years of struggle and suffering the sun has finally risen above the Tatry and spread the warm rays of liberty over all Slovakia. ”

“ We are proud that in the fight for your liberty, for the freedom of the Czechoslovak nation, we here in America had a share. Our brothers and sons fought under the starry banner of the United States as well as under the Czechoslovak flag in France; others sustained them in the field by working in the war industries. Our women and girls with much zeal and self-sacrifice undertook the work of relief, all with firm faith in their hearts that the Czechoslovak people must win. ”
