As the peasants had received these messages in the speech of Hrubý, the guarantor would have experienced himself: it would have been the place where Hruby had the most applause. As the question of Amnestia was then dealt with practically, it is well known. The minister would have pledged his word, which was then not or only hardly adhered to. It is clear that this has very adverse consequences for him (Hrubý) and his influence on the farmers. Ježek asked the guarantor to do something about this matter and to obtain a different attitude of the responsible German authorities on this question. People with penalties should be allowed to run for up to a year. Moreover, this would have little meaning. Punishments must be deterrent, so they must be limited in and of themselves to a few cases. But if there are 6 - 7 or even more people sitting in small places, then it hardly works out deterrently, but gradually becomes a habit; the people would become dull. Furthermore, the penalties are very unequal (at this circumstance, by the way, Minister Hrubý has already pointed out repeatedly). For one and the same thing, quite different penalties have often been imposed. One of them is sentenced to one fine and the other gets one year's imprisonment. Ježek considers the current criminal procedure to be more woody in order to be successful. With the punishment alone it is not done. The sense of punishment lies not in the abduction of a bad or false deed, but above all in an education and warning of others, not also to fall into the same error. J. believes that one could achieve more by a generous, sometimes consciously forgiving policy than by a one-sided principle equestrianism. 57398 dwab. Orya 44-Obersturmbannführer 1 /87 0L B77
