122.) Minorities with us wirkliah, ioh don't know how much, wrong does, and Bentihen the peace at any cost, d d d t d slovakei, found a pretext in the assertion that the division of Czechoslovakia does nothing bad, because one simply fulfilled the claim of the oppressed minorities to the liberation from Czechoslovak oppression. It can even be said that the totalitarian and dictatorial states (Deutsohland, Hungary, Italy) killed their minorities in an outrageous way, and that even the smallest internal sovereignty with the minorities in the democratized states became a scandal in which they mistrusted the democratic freedom of these states, and unjustly made even the slightest internal sovereignty to the minorities before the whole world, the League of Nations, which was well informed about the real state of things, did not touch any finger in 1938, when the only state that respected its minority obligations to a greater extent when it was linked to the signed treaties, was denounced in front of the face of the world as oppressors. With Sahmerz, therefore, I note that the pre-war system of minority protection has failed, and today, after all that has been done in Central Europe on these issues, Germany, Italy and Hungary, it is also the opinion of the competent ruling circles among the Allied nations. It is therefore not possible to renew these absurdities before we begin to exercise minority rights.
