On the contrary, the protectorate authorities should now compensate us for various injustices that have been inflicted on us because of our firm commitment to public affairs and local businessmen who boycotted our products. Only by the former consumption "Včela" we suffered damage of about K 5o.oo.- annually by non-absorbed goods. Although everyone is already afraid to open their mouths before me, I still get to hear here and there that they will pull off our skin and drive over us and the German comrades with steam rollers until everything turns around. To realize this wish they will be able to wait looo years. As an old supporter of the Führer, I do not have the slightest desire to be quoted and interrogated by people who, as your Excellency mentioned in the last speech, are irreconcilable to the Reich for 25o K and as a substitute for my forgetfulness, I place an amount of K 5.oo.- for the children of my German comrades--policeists who have fallen into the hands of Your Excellencies in their service to the Great German Empire. I would like to give the amount used for these purposes, but I do not know what the penalty paid to the tax office - and if it were so small - would be used for.
