English Translation

-2- b/ French-political thinking on the Czechs, it is not to be doubted that they believe the unity of the state only if their state is built up according to the common sense. As always, however, there can be no doubt that each state must be classified according to certain points of view in terms of organisation, depending on the population, on the territory which it covers and on other aspects of the matter, each of the Member States must be broken down. This structure must be made clear in the light of the aspects that are of particular importance and importance for the survival and prosperity of the state. nmtoday it is undisputed that the froble of the Czechoslovak state is the cohabitation of several Velkers and ethnic groups into one state. This very simple transfer must lead to the conclusion that it is precisely the point of vision upon which the techechoslovak state must be divided, which must be the one that ensures the smoothest possible living of the individual peoples and ethnic groups. Venn sehon, in the memoirs on the Paris Priedenskonferene of techechi- cher side, made the commitment to organize the Tachechoi after the Mu-ster of Switzerland, but with the reservation to take account of the specific conditions of Czechoslovakia, the realization is expressed here that precisely the Czechoslovak state has its special life laws, which must be taken into account, but on the other hand, the promise to take into account the laws of life in such a way that as a result a peaceful meeting of the peoples is achieved, as Switzerland shows. Ee is precisely concerned with finding that organizational principle, which guarantees this result. In the wake of the political struggle on a national level, everyone must now admit that only such a crisis grán- zip ensures peaceful coexistence, which reduces the volcanic friction to the smallest possible minimum. It is only then that this life-sacrifice will lead to a peaceful coexistence between the techechen on the one hand and the other peoples and ethnic groups on the other.
