English Translation

S2. If you read the brochure of Mr. Josef Chmelář, you first have the impression that it corresponds in many parts to the well-known and infamous Memoire III, that at his time together with the other ll Memoirs and the notes of the delegates of the Czechoslovak revolutionary government the allied and associated Michte at the peace conference in St. Mr Germain had been presented with a document of the claim made by the new Tschl state to the German companies Bähmens, Mährens and Schlesiens habex. The diction and argumentation in this brochure of Mr. Chmelář is very often like Memoir III as one egg to another, the partly gross factual falsifications in geographical, statistical and population-political aspects, which are contained in Memour III, return here as well. We know that the contents of Memoir III itself are unpleasant to various Czechoslovak authorities today, otherwise, as it happened to me personally, Memour III would not be confiscated from Tsch. censorship if it were to be printed in a brochure of my publishing house. I believe that the author of this brochure. Mr. Chmelář must have a guilty conscience if he believes, after 1-8 years of existence of the state, that he can hide abroad by such means as are contained in the brochure, from the true conditions and conditions in the state. Remember, gentlemen, that the beautiful days of St. Germain has passed, that since 1918 an old world with outdated and rusty ideologies has perished and a new Europe, built on mutual recognition and respect for the people, on equal rights, honor and dignity of the peoples in emergence. / Abg.
