33 - 18 - The intellectual backwardness of the Czech view of population policy is further evident from numerous articles which are opposed to the pros and cons of population politics, which the Czech reader of the report. Thus, a newspaper has to dispel the concerns that an increase in the number of children would have to result in an increase of the unemployment rate, or that in view of the "increased needs of modern man" a multi- or multi-child system is not possible. In the end, it is forced, for the purpose of a credible justification of the necessity of numerous marriages, to resort to the aid of ecclesiastical morality. A publication in the central organ of the Nazi legal guardian association "Deutsches Recht" of 29. 3. i94l, in which the Czech people and their government were commended for "defying the racial problem courageously", "preparing a law for the protection of Czech honour and Czech blood" and thus "implementing a long-awaited demand of the younger Czech generation", went by the actual situation. The action of NG "Mladi sobě" is to create a fund through voluntary donations from the ranks of young people and adults, from which contributions of K l.000,-- are paid to socially weak newlyweds. Although an external reference to the pattern of marriage loans is unmistakable, this donation in the form of a donation has nevertheless more social than population-political character, the action often suffered from lack of money or. under the competition of the "National Aid"; the payments had to be temporarily stopped, which had a very negative effect on the trust of the young people willing to marry. At the end of lğ40, the number of unfinished requests had increased to 6,000 due to lack of money, so that the acceptance of further requests was blocked by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. In recent times, the NG has launched two propaganda campaigns under the Czech city and country population on a larger scale, namely the village beautification advertising and the summer fresh propaganda under the motto "The Earth Paradise" and "National Guests to the Country". In order to make the cityrs' stay in the countryside pleasant, the village embellishment is to be carried out. It should refer to the establishment of the village square, the regulation of streams, the elimination of unhygienic sites, etc. These actions are intended to achieve a multiple purpose: for the time being, the difference between town and country is to be reduced; further improvement is expected.
