bh Frankuter ting 15,3.40 In the Protectorate. Prague, 14 March. The life of the Czech people has suffered a slight loss due to the gin-integration of its state into the empire, which is going on in the last few days. The Czech administration and its administrative apparatus have prevented and continued the business without interruption. Ale Nessorts, those of the judiciary and the education system, the foreforge and the finance, the Jnnern, the police and the gendarmerie, also of the economy and the trade, remained in Czech hands. Instead of the former Geeres calculated for an almost dop= pett so large national territory, a cigene government force commanded by the generals and officers of the island. Where economic interdependencies were particularly affected by the interests of the Reich abroad, they had to be resolved or re-ordered. However, some of them had previously been considered questionable and changed by a wise Czech initiative, in accordance with the new circumstances. Others have been made more natural by means of equally naïve and - in the historical connection also of the economic area - more natural connections to the rich. How much more natural this connection is, shows me also in other areas. While the former Czecho=Slovak Republic was not able to draw any significant nuggets from its political dependence on the Western Member States and had a growing army of unemployed, there are hardly any more unemployed people in the Protectorate at present: some of them have found themselves in the neighbourhood, but most of them also in their home country's re-bolled junkery. With the exception of Brotek's teaching methods, the demands of grounding = compensation of damages, the Ishho-Slovak state gum renunciation of any kind of a blid in the statistics of the costs of Czech cultural , the autonomy of the czechi= in the years under the Schus , become in detail that for the first time the ried ziwiwien is in rden. The celebration of the annual day on 15 March, which takes place in Prague with the participation of the whole of Germandom, is therefore not only a celebration of liberation for the floor-standing Germans, but also a day of peace to a large extent — and therefore also right for the wise Czechs. On the old Prague royal castle, in whose shot once German merchants built their gothic city, the German and the Greek flags blow side by side. They act as a shm bol of the peace of the Land, which has re-entered Bohemia under the German Schuy, and live both parts, the Germans and the Czechs, guaranteeing justice, according to their nature; a nev, which, of course, also carries duties. State= Secretary Frank has them in a rally that takes place in the round of old patrician houses on the Old Town Ring between the towering towers of the church of St. Thein and the Richiplay of the Bohemian Estates, which Nathaus received, clearly outlined their particular historical character: "The Protectorate," he said, "has only one task: to contribute as part of the empire of Gum Victories."
