22 4 "Ceskoslovensky boj" I notice that it is not our official central organ, that it cannot be averted as such and that its writing among our compatriots has caused rejection everywhere. The polemic articles on things to be silent about now are everywhere considered inappropriate and superfluous. I myself avoid all polemics and try to prevent them everywhere. In the near future, a new organ in English will be published in London, a truly neutral sheet, if it is not possible in time to agree with Paris, which we naturally strive for. I do not, of course, consider all the minor misunderstandings as serious and I ask you not to overestimate their content there either, and to take them tragically. ts these are all insignificant and ridiculous matters in terms of the size of the entitlements that are prepared and determined. ll.) Politically I prepare our plans unater to the slogan: A free Czechoslovakia in a free Europe. This is preconceived for America and Russia also for the two European states. With the German Opposåtion we go here parallel, but separate and cautious. In the event of war, Germany and Italy expect great and surprising successes at the beginning. I expect Poland to be inferior to Romania, and that Yugoslavia will also join in, or that they will go beyond it. I do not exclude the fall of Greece and Egypt and the predominance of the eastern Middle Sea. But then it would only begin. The dauptattack would be directed against Italy and then again from the East and from Russia against Central Europe. The intervention of America, financial, economic, ammunition, diplomatic and political aid - stands for the beginning.Always it would be increased. Here it is assumed that America will not send a military to Europe this time, but that it will appear at sea. However, it is generally recognized that America cannot and must not let England and France defeat. The preparations for the "requirements are in full force here. 12.)I am closing this message by asking that they do not keep to themselves any of the persons or groups they can handle and that they be made available at least in part to a wider audience. All of your messages are correct here, the connection works well, the messages are used well and X works well here. Here the behaviour of our population is already well known and our resistance and resistance is recognized. We greatly appreciate the action of our broad people, and in general of all classes of people, as we see it here. We ask: stay out, don't be intimidated, come what may. We know that it will become even more disloyal, but we also know that we will endure. It is important that all reliable Slovaks are informed, loh himself trusting in the general situation so that I fully believe in success. The whole world understands that we must and will be free. However, I do not overlook the opinion of the cynics and defaitists in France and England.
