40 IV. The economic and social situation. WeSereERAsBAeeEXanSRSxBRgeexGeeRRSeEE The political and military events on the Baltic Sea were clearly visible in all areas of the anti-German wave, which, after the end of the fighting in Yugoslavia, was only gradually following, with the existing stiffening continuing to show its impact, the attitude of the section head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Frankenberger, whose efforts to create an "inner front" of the Czechs, especially the peasants, was clear. The aim of these provisions is to develop the agricultural circles and their organizations into a Czech-political bulwark. As an essential means of achieving this goal, the personnel policy is to be seen in the Bohemian Moravian Associations, it is no coincidence that at the time of the outcry of the events in Yugoslavia, Dr. Frankenberger issued a decree to all the Böhmisch-Märischer Associations with which he put the Fersonal Verhängigkeiten in the Böhmisch-märischen Verbanden under the special supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and, due to its political inadmissibility, proved Dr. Kose to be the officer entrusted with this task. Furthermore, the chauvinist intention of this personnel policy emerges from a provision of the above-mentioned decree which instructs the market associations to hire in the future those candidates "who have lost their employment in connection with the changes in state law, for example landowners in the assigned territories." It is well known that these are almost consistently anti-German parents who were then transferred to the Sudetenland for Czechization purposes and who had to flee at the time of the liberation of the SuDetenland. These Élements therefore seem to be particularly suitable and reliable for Dr. Frankenberger's political objectives.
