Hromadka Urges War or Breakup as Czech Salvation
Prague professor Joseph L. Hromadka warned that Czechoslovakia’s salvation hinges on a European war or the collapse of Hitler’s regime. Speaking at the home of Rev. Bren, he urged Polish defiance as a potential trigger, and outlined Nazi pressures permeating Czech life while recounting his escape to Switzerland after being targeted as a threat to the regime. He will lecture in Czech at C S P S hall and preach at the Czech Reformed Church in Ely. He noted Germans regard his writings on persecution with anger and recalled past border restrictions. He emphasized reliance on Soviet aid and questioned whether France and Britain could prevail without it.
