11 Group of Cultural Political Prague, 7 August 1939 Affairs To the Secretary of State in the House e. The "Národní práce" publishes in its Sunday edition a detailed essay entitled "From the Austrian Storms 90 Years ago", in which the struggles of Rieger, Palckys and Havlicek for the transformation of Austria into a federal state and the aspirations of Sladkovsky, Arnold etc. are described after an armed insurrection. The A"tikel, which is held in a very sharp tone, concludes with the words: "Our greats lost this struggle 90 years ago. The Viennese government incited Havliček to death. Rieger had to go to France, Palacky gave up his political activity. His slogan "We were before Austria, we will be after him" is valid, however, to this day. The wheels of fate are constantly spinning". I have explained to Mr Schmoranz, Ministerial Councillor, that I do not even wish for articles of this kind, even if they are written as a reminder tool without any tendency. I will therefore make it very clear to the general public that this is a case of a lack of information to the Czech press on the instructions of our authority, and I will also ask that the censor and the author be held accountable.
