Speech by Mr. K.H. Frank, the Sudeten German Party in the Chamber of Deputies of the Czechoslovak Republic on 3 December 1936. House ! My comrades ! I am pleased that Mr. Foreign Minister Dr. Krofta is present in the House. I have the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Krofta, who recently called Sudeten-Germanism the second nation of the state, called for the protection of this second state d d d e s under equals against a lie propaganda, which is made at the expense of the State by its own officials. Mr Josef Chmelář, Chief Section Councillor in Section 3b of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, recently published a brochure in the English and French languages of the well-known Orbis publishing house in Prague, entitled "The German Prague in Czechoslovakia". In the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, Dr Peters called this brochure a pamphlet and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Krofta, then strongly opposed Dr Peter's position, and this brochure was a "serious, practical work". I think it would have been better if the Minister for Foreign Affairs had not given this judgment of value. In fact, I am able to prove that this booklet is really a pamphlet, a work of the worst kind, which carries out lying propaganda and is suitable, the reputation of the tschl. We are not concerned that this kind of propaganda /; in the year l936 it could have a special success abroad. Because d r 19. May of 1935, the fiction of the Czech nation state has finally destroyed and the many visits of foreign politicians and journalists have revealed the true conditions in the Czechoslovak state.
