English Translation
The founding of the "presentity" magazine on the "Castle." Of course, in my absence in conversations with MASARYK, he received an incentive for articles and probably concrete proposals to influence Czech/internal/policy according to the thinking of the Castle. In opposition to this view, PEROUT- KA stood up and declared that MASARYKOV also rejected some articles, that he did not capitulate in front of any authority, and even if he listened to it in some case, it was out of respect. However, he acknowledged that in the sharp controversy KRAMÁR - BENEŠ, with the views of MASARRYKA, he stood up against KRAMÍR's side. From the President Beneš he did not care for any suggestions, this between the years 1935 and 1938 he didn't see at all. In March I938 shortly after the connection of Ostmark, he and his friend Karel ČAPEK were invited by the German envoy EISENLOHR at the Mec Ossow u Dobřím. EISENLOHR told both about the following: that he observed that the Czech internal policy had a very questionable development, but that it was not appropriate, as a representative of the Great German Empire, to look at the responsible factors, because this could be interpreted - well, as interference with the internal policy of the state in which the hos-tem is. He, PEROUTKA, has always submitted a true report to President BENEŠOVI and Foreign Minister KROFT.He believes that the opening of the municipal elections in the spring of 19938 and then, the more amnesty - was the first fruit of this meeting. At the end of May 1938 these meetings ceased.EISEN- LOHr was probably led by May mobilization at that time, even BENEš thought that he had found new paths.His cha-su - before this - were two confidants from the leader at BENEŠ and KROFTY.Maybe BENES thought he would get further than EISENOHRA on this journey. When the internal policy situation got heated it was clear to him /PEROUTK/ that the Sudeten question can only be resolved by the resignation of Sudetsky territory. Also certain gentlemen from the so-called "Castle" were already united in this view.So he remembers that the envoy Jan MASARYK in June l938 at the Prague Castle uka- Zával map, on which he had drawn the regions, which in his personal opinion were to be removed. PENOUTKA remembers precisely that the whole Cheb region was drawn on this map, which was to be removed.
