English Translation

- 28 - This can only be done through a national systemization of posts in all rank levels, as suggested by the Sudeten German Party's sketch. 3./ Die in A lit. a , paragraph 4 - proposed provision now abolishes the principle of the proportional proportion of peoples and ethnic groups becoming more practical, since with their vague discretionary concepts such as M special character " or "needs of service " , " other important reasons " etc. the legal handling of the most serious violations of proportionality and thus of non-implementation of the principle set out above. Thus, the whole principle is devalued in such a way that it becomes a purely optical setting which fakes justice without granting it. 4./ The provisions of points A, lit.a, paragraphs 5 and 6 of this section exclude any legal review of the principle. Its importance for national peace in the state, however, requires precisely legal control, especially in view of the experiences that have been made repeatedly, but in particular with the promises made by the government on February 8, 1937. The proposals for such control are contained in the sketch of the Sudeten German Party. 5./ Since the provisions in force for admission to the civil service have so far been applied consistently, with the help of ever-changing apparent reasons, in such a way that they have always had an adverse effect on non-Czech citizens, they should not be allowed to be treated by a statute of nationality.
