English Translation
( The development of the Moravian fascist movement. General Gajda, the longtime leader of the "Národni obec fašistická" /National Fascist community/ is considered by the Czechs above all as a man of missed opportunities. In recent times, he has taken higher amounts even from Jews, against the promise that, in the event of his confidence with the Ministry of the Interior, he would not take decisive action in the Jewish question. He also found the new situation, which was quite favourable to the fascists in a voice after the establishment of the Protectorate, quite fluctuating. He changed several times from the sharpest opposition to the confidential leadership with government circles. With this attitude dissatisfied, already in May the more radical group of the Mehrische Fascists under their head Jaromir Vála spread sharp flyers against the government, demonstrated in various actions against Jews, Freemasons and the under their influence official Czech "National Community" /Národni souručenstvi/ and thereby gained increasingly in attachment and political significance. The growth of the movement finally forced Gajda to call for an unconditional opposition to the government and the "national community" until the death of power. As a result, government-led negotiations with Gajda ended in sleep with President Hácha's reception, with Gahda being consoled with a non-binding promise to the Ministry of the Interior and a stronger representation of the Pashists in the "National Community". At the end of June, however, he surrendered completely, voluntarily disbanded his movement and went unconditionally with his employees, only against some personal advantages, into the "national community". This led to an open break with the Moravian fascists. They now called themselves "Národni tábor fašistický" /National fascist camp/ and founded their own ./.
