39 - 2 - Czech political circles comment on this article in that a complete reversal of German politics will now occur in the Protectorate. It had been recognised in Berlin that the methods used so far did not lead to pacification, that the Czech peasantry needed above all for the forthcoming agricultural production battle, but that the workers in the major industries of the war were also needed, and for this reason they had decided to take a step-by-step turn.In connection with these comments, the name of the State Secretary 4-Group Leader Fr a n k fell very often. Further votes say that this means a departure from the previous policy of the Secretary of State, which must now follow the line prescribed by Berlin. The individual passages of the article are directly analysed by Czech political circles and are linked to these the most daring hopes and interpretations, in which the Secretary of State usually gets away very badly, for example, is spoken of a victory of the more moderate line of the Reich Protector and the Wehrmacht circles. In the presidium of the ČnS this adtibkl caused a big stir and there were lively discussions in almost all law firms. The prognosis goes all in common that the Germans are finished with their government art and therefore acknowledge that it will not be possible without the cooperation of politically trained Czechs. It is said that this would be an end to the Vlajka and all other legal groups and, at the same time, a return to the former system of the party political key within the framework of the ČNS, which is now to be endowed with the most extensive powers as an equal factor in the relationship to the office of the Reich's protector and to the administration.
