English Translation

La - 2 - to understand clearly that he was in no way willing to "figure as a puppet", because the helplessness of ministers in general and of Hrubys in particular was almost proverbial throughout the Czech people. He is said to have explained the following to Hruby: "If I were to take over the ministry after you, I should not only have the opportunity, if I had full responsibility, to clean up thoroughly, but to do something much better in front of me. However, since I know that at this stage, too, my hands are completely tied, I prefer to remain a farmer and thus have the possibility of really doing something positive, rather than becoming a minister and being completely cold. I am in no way afraid of responsibility, but I see clearly enough that with my "revolutionary ideas" - because, according to my secular view, a minister cannot be revolutionary enough at all in the present time - I could not prevail." In a later discussion, Minister Hruby is said to have also complained that his hands were too tied, and he has given the following example: "I cannot make any correspondence myself in my capacity as minister without running over Staehly. Staehly, on the other hand, can write as much as he wants without having to know about it." . M. 的31 i1-Sturmbannfürer. e bogag th s lt 00037
