39 Answer i The crown witness for the idea of the empire is actually the history of the Czech people itself; also its recent epoch. They know that, in the past century, contrary to the fact that the Czech people belonged to the Reich for almost a decade, the political doctrine was imprinted on them that the techeche would only be able to maintain its existence through a permanent position of struggle against German action. The attempt to achieve this German hostility politically in 20 years' time led to the collapse of the Czech state and inevitably led to a return, rich people, as the given administrative power of the European centre. In general, the conversion to the Reich's memory does not proceed as if it were a leaping economic phenomenon, but is gradually changing, but only speaks for the permanence of this reorientation. If today Tsd echen may still be distant from the idea of the empire, this does not affect the current political requirements in Bohemia and Mdhren, but it is true that these Czechs do not actively oppose the idea. In Bohemia and Moravia, there are today a happy number of activists for the kingdom, especially in the Czech youth. In the four years since the establishment of the Protectorate, no Czech was able to anticipate the advantages of belonging to the Empire. I believe I am certain to say that, for example, the Czech workers and peasants today, despite all the efforts of the war economy, do not have the feeling of exploitation with mere curls, but of honest social and cultural support from the German side. There are numerous practical proofs in daily life. As far as Prague is concerned, after the insistence of the masses on the politics of the President Dr. Hácha, I can certainly say that his position in the Czech public is based on a much broader basis of trust than ever a politician of the Czechoslovak people.
