New permits to obtain the material are generally no longer granted. However, in view of the need to keep the hostile agitation in the Protectorate under constant control and to overtake the incitement of Czech emigrants and to take appropriate countermeasures, the Minister has decided that Minister of State Prank will from now on serve a special service which will include all information material worth knowing about these issues.
