-8-29 of our Gaue out a day of crucial importance: The nation state's gene_ from the nation state was destroyed, the verdict Dr. Beneschs in the Memoir II that we Sudeten Germans are not an organized and directed people in the direction of a goal, have no leaders, to whom the masses trust against, and there is no real grassroots popular movement, refutes and corrupts. 70 % of the Sudeten Germandom had stood in the front and recognized Konrad Henlein as a binding speaker. And in the end, the verdict of the people made clear that the participation of German ministers in the government could not mean a solution to the problem. The unconditional support for the nation-state idea and its practice had been answered by the de- cision of the activists. Our party opens the now invading struggle on parliamentary ground with the fundamental statement in the Prague Parliament, Pfi tis Eoonging, which I gave on 19 June 1935/. Recently, we are clarifying our position on the state and our fellow Czech citizens in the most ambiguous form to the Czech people before its elected representatives: "By taking on all obligations against state, state form, law and political morality, the SdP is at the same time entitled to all rights which, guaranteed by the Constitution, are granted to the Sudeten Germanism, but are often either denied or reduced by the legislation, administration and jurisprudence." Although we, as well-served speakers of Sudetens Germanism in Tau- send meetings and events, undercut by valid factual material, liaht images, statistics and more, we as well. To the Czech statesmen, the Czech people and finally to the world public our situation represented again and again and called for remedy, the politics of the cabin with all nameng measures (laws, ordinances and official acts) karz the general administrative and the economic forces of the Czech People further among the slogans of the as side government effective ya fighting associations. Everything seemed to have been designed to realize the slogan of these struggle associations, 'the shift of the language border to the state border'.
