English Translation

- 5 - but here, too, it is guilty of the previously mentioned error of the generalization. I have noticed that in the assessment of the most diverse questions of the Bohemian region, those groups of the authority which are most closely in contact with the individual, local circumstances and approaches - i.e. municipal policy, cultural policy, welfare, medical department - are closest to those of the party únd the "indigenous". In the circles of the party, I heard in particular two more important statements: i) the desire for tougher intervention against the Jews; these would find support with the Czechs and unite with them. Thus, the German authority would also be in favour of the Czech, but would also bring economic help to the Germans. 2) The other was the regret about the dissolution of two upper-level districts and their merging with others. This was regarded as a loss of foreign offices of Germanism. Note. In the above report, I have confined myself to questions of popular policy and have again mentioned only that, although I thought I had problems and differences of opinion in my stay in Prague, and I have reproduced this pros and cons without my own opinion, which did not matter here. However, I would like to add at the end that I would rather take the position of those who are in doubt for rigour, for greater distance and for feneg trust. fl8ea Auuduer.
