PZD - 2 - 68. The decree of the leader himself, point out when he speaks of the sovereign rights of the protectorate mmdmdanm, whose head enjoys the protection and the honorary rights of a head of state. It would therefore be, according to the Czech newspaper, very unjust to claim that the position of Bohemia and Moravian mm corresponds to the legal position of the former states of Alsace and Lorraine on the German Reich. The autonomy of Bohemia and Moravia is much wider in its lulling features and features, which characterise an independent state, however, firmly inserted within the framework of the Greater Germany. The Protectorate maintains a very broad autonomy within the framework of Germany, it has its own government and will probably also have its own country day, its own laws and own government regulations, and these are characteristics of an independent state, even if it is incorporated into the empire. One could therefore not speak of an extinction of the Czech state law character, which persists - albeit to a new extent and on a new basis. The future will show how the Czech people understands how to govern themselves, For perfect loyalty to the kingdom and its representatives and through cooperation with the German people, the Czech nation can significantly improve its position in the future. The "Národní Listy" also express their satisfaction at the fact that the decree of the leader ensures the autonomous development of Czech national life. It is now up to the Czechs to establish themselves in accordance with this decree and to use all possibilities contained in it for the benefit of the Czech people. There is no time for meagerness and bitterness today. By the way, the Czech people do not go unknown ways today, it was already part of the holy Roman Reià German nation and understood mhahmàmmhm to assert himself in this context. Of course, today it is more than ever necessary to tell the Czech people the truth, to build confidence in the German people and to realize in the first row the complete unity of the Czech People.
