English Translation

129.) Security, which in the future is to be the expression of the cooperation of all democracies in their international relations, will give a new Hitler the courage to a new war that a shattered Europe would no longer endure. Since then, in 1934, this war had been expected. I was sure that Hitler and Mussolini would provoke him, so I won't take back anything from my outside politics that I've driven and represented in the last twenty years. In the year l938, on its basis, I wanted to defend only Tsohechoslovakia, but also the rest of democratic Europe militarily, the whole course of this war justified the policy of democracy that was faithful to the death of Czechoslovakia. It was truly a policy of democracy, both in internal affairs and in external relations. But it was not just any ideology or ideological politics; it was a policy which was of the most lively Czechoslovak national and state interests, as the whole course of the Second World War shows to be too typical. This policy is once again reflected in this chapter in its Ausdruok, in the new Fbrm and in the sense of the more advanced development after today's crisis, and without wanting to say that everything that is said here is in detail correct and inconceivable, I am convinced that if these principles are not enforced in the main outlines after the present war, after ten , five years, then they will not be enforced.
