69 Vergeesene Einsichten. (Bundesgenossen zur schecho-Slovakischen Staatsproblem). When I used the sudetendeutsche Konspekte of the Czecho-Slovenia State Problem as one of the spokespersons of the Sudeten German party Lord Runciman in the midsummer of the year l938, the response was, as expected, diplomatically veiled. The fact that a British statesman, regardless of his official posting, was quickly sent as an observer and mediator to a central European state, which a 2o-year-old political development - now obvious in the eyes of the world - had made into what he was from Anfeng: a scene of constant quarrels of inhabiting the nationalities, united only in the negation of the state. The unusual of the Runcimsn mission was only the expression of the unusual situation of the State EggSva If I now, especially in these days, evoke such memories, not because we seek to support our political views among the tormenting powers, no, the National Socialist leadership will prove to be correct and the German sword will never tolerate a change in the present state in Bohemia and Moravia. On the contrary, I am doing it for the sake of making it clear to the Czech people on the one hand and to the European political world on the other that a 'Czech-Slovakia' has always been a political nonsense, as it must be in the future.
