Copy. Page 6. 1/ As already mentioned: I no longer have to conduct any fundamental proceedings. Thus, I appointed Czech lawyers as co-defendant in the 256er trial. Basis of defense: not fight, lyal line to court and encirclement,short liquidation in the interest of internal national order making, on lettercopts to Dr. Passer confirms from me: "Very agree". 2/ I also have to bring my change to the attention of the administrative authorities and to negotiate in the sense of liquidation and exiting from a narrow alley, in which we are all involved, including the Polish and State apparatus: I send my concipient Dr.Proche to Dr.Benda, the police councillor, with the request for reception by him and Dr.Preinünger, in order not to awaken the Eindruek during the preliminary speech in the internal ministry, I come to complain about the police direction. After I published the newspaper news of my upcoming arrest, I for the time being left the visit so as not to give the impression of trying to avoid this danger. 3/ I obtained the mandate for the formation of the German Council under contact with Minister Dr.Spina and Henlein. His content should be: Reuresentanz der Deutschen l./ in den Vertretarg her unpolitische Organisatiommen, 2./ in the previous political parties,exclusively National Sozialisten 3./ by emeritus politicians such as Křepek, 4./ by the representatives of the youth movement in order to capture them, 5./ by a representative of the German gathering efforts. Its duration is temporary until the establishment of order. Its purpose: the corporative resonance of the state-emphasis of the body of the Sudethe German language in connection with those enterprises that enable the honesty of this emphasis. Ministers Dr. Spina and Henlein raised no objection to this plan, and the approvals were received, among them the emeritus leader of the Krepek Federation of Farmers, who is well known personally and politically esteemed by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany: I was arrested....... Be that as it may be: mistrust and misunderstood was at the beginning of meán's activity in the Polish trials. Whatever it is you are at the end and may break away from me for an end, I am justified before me as a German, as a Democrat, as Czechoslovak citizen, but not as a defender. Perhaps it would have been me as such if I had been allowed to end my way of obtaining a general political amnesty and law of abolition and of obtaining an internal Czech-German position... I was then, when he was git Drtina actually isolated if the Czech politics stood, when quantite negligeable and fantast and outsiders were unheard of by the Czech parliamentarians, a fervent admirer Prof. Dr. Masaryks. His newspaper "Čas" had relations with me, for example, it once brought an acknowledging report on a speech I gave in the product exchange. Today it is a different thing, the storm and urge of my youth has clarified itself to the remaining, even at that time still quite unusual spiritual ground, still more firmly to an especially political realism. This eer "realist" best will to all sides is to be today a criminal at the state, at the head of which is a personality ideal of his youth. With my trial kan history to be written, it can reveal one-first wound of our state, It does not need only onexYerteidungssex drnexsekex defense drama. Perhaps su our state and the Sudeten Germanism good. Dr. Josef Stark.
