English Translation

92 - The level of life of the Czech working people has experienced an increase. Even the extraordinary war conditions, which impose victims and restrictions on all those involved as well as non-participants, have not been able to stop this rise in the level of living. The wage policy has helped hundreds of thousands of the Czech working people, who have worked before from Sonenauf - until sunset for a little lentil soup - pe, and whose labor power has been exploited by unscrupulous and ruthless capitalist souls, again. Even the overriding areas of social politics have not been left behind. Two years of the Protectorate represent a major step in the creation of a new social and economic order in which selfish capitalism is replaced by the sacrificial - socialism, in which care for the working human being is regarded as a basic rule of all social and economical activity. The Czech workers and private employees know how to evaluate this radical change, which occurred in their social and economic position after 15 March 1939. This is why they did not find it difficult, and this is also true today, to find a way out of the chaos, which is understandable in Czech minds and spirits after the great turning of the fate of Czech history. The working people, first and foremost, have grasped and grasped the meaning of the new era, the sense of the great European revolution in which, under the leadership of the National Socialist Germany, the European continent is engaged in a great and evident time of victorious struggle for a new social order against the reaction forces of the capitalist plutocracy.
