English Translation

6.7 With Herm Chmelář it is literally further: "It is impossible to draw an ethnographic border between the Czech and German Zonën." Here, too, I invite Mr. Chmelár to make a walk along the German language border with me, so that he can convince himself that in most cases today there is still a sharp separation between here German village, here Czech village. It then goes on to say: "The German eastern zone of Bohemia , comprehensively the political districts of Bischofteinitz to exclusive Brüx counts 835,000 inhabitants." I note that after the official census of the year l93o in these 20 political districts not 835,000 but 955.749 settles one-week. A considerable difference. Chmelář calls the districts Brüx and Dux with 42.1% , bezw. 40.5% of tscle population share of mixed districts, while after him the political district Senftenberg with 43.3% German population is suddenly a district with Czech majority. He leads the political area Starkenbach as a purely Czech district, despite which today still lives a German minority of exactly 19.99%. As he needs it, so he leads it. The German region in the north of Moravia did not claim as Mr. Chmelář XX 325,000 inhabitants but again according to the official census figures 378,000 inhabitants. Already in the election of the political Pecirk as a compar- asis the tendency of this pamphlet emerges flawlessly and we will make the effort to give out a counter-brochure, which clearly and unambiguously knows all these forgeries. /Very correct, - Abg. Dr. Neuwairth: Will be confiscated! / Then it can appear abroad. The German districts with 512,614 Czechs with 2,982,968 inhabitants are therefore 17% Czechs, are of course more advantageous for a comparison than the territory of the German majority municipalities with 366,153 Czechs of 3,202,782 inhabitants. That would be however only illegible.
