General situation in Slovakia. Under the impression of the development of the front, a wave of Bolshevik propaganda was able to flood the whole of Slovakia, and in the passivity of the authorities, the anti-state sentiment has spread so strongly that Mach's countermeasures hit a bronze wall and virtually no success, all the less because the Hlinka party treats Mach very coldly. A "exception Jew"/Jew with Presidential exception/, a certain Dr.Mestiz, who holds a leading position in the central association of the Slovak industry, could, for example, allow himself to take part in an official circular of the association - which, by the way, as a raw material centre, is entrusted with the perception of the supply interests in the industry and the raw materials industry - It is interesting that the Jews are eager to learn Russian.Alie German-Russian and Hungarian-Russian dictionaries are sold out, but the "Tatran-Verlag" now has a Slovak-Russian-language dictionary, but it is not possible to use the word "Tatran-Publisher" to describe it as a valuable force. People's Dictionary, which costs only lo.--Ks/l RM for several thousand keywords and is warmly recommended in the party press. Mach strives to introduce new forms of public administration, abolish bureaucratism and simplify administration to the most extent.He cannot fail to give in to the party's efforts to combine functions of public government with posts by means of personnel, such as the chairman of the local organizations of the party as government commissioners of the relevant municipalities, and the like. District leaders of the party as district chiefs and - which, however, still stands on big hindrances - the party's gau leaders as gau chiefs. Mach wants to prevent this by leaving the Gauchefs as such, but transferring their powers to the District Chiefs and directing them to the Ministry of the Interior.The Gauchebs would only have advisory and controlling powers with a small staff of officials.
