English Translation

28a Hruby, however, was not the organizer of the meeting, but nevertheless the board of trustees, in which Moravec is chairman, was invited. The speech for the opening of the production battle was censored immediately - if by the German speakers and thereby added a contribution about Bolshevism, which Hrubie faithfully presented in the assembly of editors, the daily press. It was only when listening to his speech on the radio that Hrubý found out that he had skipped some of the sentences when turning around the written speech, not only in the chapter on Bolshevism, but also in some technical matters, because in his habit of following the listeners, he overlooks some sentences, which can happen more often to the speaker. On the contrary, in his speech, which was intended for Moravia, Hrubý strengthened the chapter against Bolshevism, but also the religious chapter, because he knows the feelings of the Bohemian farmers. Hrubý has the impression that Minis ter Moravec's Secretary of State has been worked on from incomprehensible grounds against Hruby, because Moravez has accused Hrubi several times that he wants to build a new agrarian area by means of the Agricultural and Forestry Association, which Moravek Hrubie even accused in writing. A little over 1/4 year ago, a former colleague of Moravec, the pilot officer B e r v i d a , made the Hrubý aware that he should pay attention to the fact that Moravec wants to eliminate all former agrarians and enemies of Beneš by means of the Germans, so that Moravez gains mercy with Beneš. e Hrubý explains that since the year 34 he has decided to go with the German people internally, and if he would fall into disrepute even now, that he will not change anything as a farmer in his witnessing and out of loyalty to his people, all the more so since he made an honorary vow to the late imperial protector Heydrich, which he will hold. If he has taken some measures eus tactical reasons, these are only in favor of the empire, as the successes of the work of Hrubý show. Hrubý wants to submit to all the instructions he receives from the higher authorities, but he hopes that he will be believed, even if he does not assure his faithfulness every day, but that he proves this faithfulness by his work and not by the Pbfaagk, as some of his colleagues in the government do 02 00017
