I have found it necessary to inform you of follow-up dex propagandist matters. Not too long ago, I decided to carry out a radical reform in Czech public life. At that time, Mr Sturmbannführer, you yourself attached the greatest importance to seeing the peace and order in this room secured, and I therefore believe that I will act in your interest if I try to create any occasion for false combinations of the world. Recently, I received various news that the settlement of ethnic German farmers from Bessarabia and South Tyrol in southern Bohemia and South Moravia in the districts of the Czech peasantry caused the greatest indignation. The measures taken do not allow Czech farmers any compensation for the farms left behind. It is said that even farmers who had previously received premiums from the government for an exemplary delivery of agricultural products were expropriated.
