English Translation

-12 33 word to the Egerer speech of our leader, which in its clarity and thoroughness also let the interested abroad mabh listen and declared for the fine-hearing abroad probably too plump, our complaints are superfluous and pointless, the president admitted already in Brno flaws and in his speech at the visit of Reichenberg on 19 August 1936 became even more clear: "I know that our Germans have practical complaints, wishes and demands .... I have no hesitation in saying that t e de e d should no longer be repeated ..... The German government parties have already discussed everything and will certainly proceed correctly in the prepared new action, which Prime Minister Hodža has just announced". This admits, first of all, from the highest point of view, the justification of our complaints and our disadvantage, a fact that is now repeated in almost all the presidential rallies intended for the public in some form, of course, without any practical results. Sudeten Germanism listens and listens to these new sounds. How great the hopes are, which are put on a change, are shown by the superscriptions which the individual German leaves of the most distant directions brought to these speeches: "Great hopes awaken" - "Now test on the example" - - "With all the consequences!". The disappointment is all the greater than it turns out in the coming months that the administrative continues in its old practice in complete disregard of the President's words. Just a few days after his speech, the news comes from Nördböhmen - almost like a mockery of the President's words - that the Bach regulation in Nieder-Ehrenberg was again awarded to Czech companies and workers. It is not surprising, then, that the President's rallies on his September trip to Slovakia are given less hope than resignation when he says about the question of nationality: "The politics of national justice will continue to be my politics ...... The minorities will have everything to do so so that they can develop culturally and linguistically .... I know that some things can be improved here and there on the minority issue."
