English Translation

43. If the Minister of Foreign Affairs calls Mr. Vhmelář's broschiirs "serious and objective work", he agrees with the appeal of the abbot Dr. Stransky/ That is unpleasant to you, the Memoir III., I come to talk about it. Dr. You can soon get all 12 memoirs printed so that you can convince yourself of the content, you don't seem to remember it anymore. /Abg. Dr. Stransky:"Henlein's speech, I know her very well! - Proclaims of the deputies of the Sudeten German Party/If the Minister of Foreign Affairs calls this work a "serious and objective work", he probably also agrees with the praise which so many liberal circles sing here in the state of the "stability of our relations". We believe that it would be better if, in many things, there were a little less stability in the state, but there was a little more vitality and courage to root out the problems in all areas of our national and state life, and then there would be stability and satisfaction in the State as well. Gentlemen, you must not judge the development in Europe, above all, from the Emigrents and the well-known Hetzpres- se. Otherwise it could happen to you that you suddenly find yourself on the "Island of the Lonely and Abandoned". /KXX. Applause of the Abg. of the Sudeten German Party/ . Now to the brochure itself. Mr. Chmelář himself admitted in the "Prgger Press" of 20 November 1936 that his brochure was intended for information about foreign countries in order to take a stand against the foreign propaganda of my party. First of all, I am pleased to note that it is now officially certified that there is a significant question in Czechoslovakia, so far there have been many Czech places - I only remember that district governor of Podersam, for whom the Sudeten Germanism was not existing. I understand that the figures and figures which I shall now give you and which are in the screaming opposite of Mr Chmelář's figures and numerals are the official statistics of Matcrial dos tschl statistics.
