English Translation

b 9 - 5 - II. Political questions l./ The assumption expressed in my last report that the Czech resistance movement would be in the same mass, in which the consequences of the nearness of being forgotten, seems to be confirmed already now in a certain circumference, Thus, above all, a not insignificant revival and an increase in whispering propegonda and the formation of geriatrics could be observed, a fact which is obviously due again to a greater listening of foreign transmitters. These rumors, however, are quite well-known; they mainly comment on the events in the war scenes, the formation of a second front, the war-economic and military difficulties of the empire, etc. Similarly, in a number of districts, such as Melnik, the old rumours of an imminent expatriation of the Czech population, which in Melnik are mainly due to the x-ray examinations that are to be found, as well as the measures taken by the Land Office, are reopened. Since the authors of this whispering propagonda belong according to the circles of intelligence, it will be advisable, above all, to integrate in an orderly working process the officials in the last yohrens, former officers, etc., who make a main contingent of coffee house visitors. 2./ In addition, a number of individual cases, such as the arrest of several mayors or other prominent figures for state police activity, are shown.
