24 Národní Politika of 6 December 39 II. Edition. Clear policy required. State Secretary and group leader Her- man Frank gave a speech on Saturday at the Old Town Square, which has not only political significance,but the basis for the further development of the relationship between Germans and Czechs on the historical "Biebe Böhmens and Moravian".The greatest positive feature of the Secretary of State's words is the fact that they are the fact, that on the Czech side, they do not leave anyone in doubt about nmemmmmmemmud iron and subliminal will of the Germans and the Empire, for the victorious and a dmalten Kanpf to create such conditions that will not necessarily lead only to the victory of the Empire but mainly to the new social idea. Germany is fighting for the re-formation of the conditions in Europe, bears on its shoulders the responsibility not only for the fate of the German people, but also for the destiny and the proper involvement of the life of the splinter of nationalities in central ruropa.
