English Translation
- 2 - 22 Minister Krejči came to address the following: The President had received yesterday in his presence the leader of the Vlajka, R y s. Rys had recognized expressis until the leadership of the President of the Republic over the Technical People and his (Rys') submission to the President. He asked for the release of all the Vlajkists arrested by the Czech police or sentenced by Czech courts, which was fulfilled by the President of the Republic. Reason: Almost all prisoners were detained for insulting the government of Eliáš, which could no longer be held responsible after the events. Rys also asked for the legalization of the Vlajka as a holding party and a substitute for a possible dissolution of the NS. This was rejected. Rys then criticized the lax and unstruggling attitude of the current government, which can dictate everything by the interpretations without looking up. Rys also wanted the president's consent to the establishment of a volunteer corps against the Bolsheviks. This was rejected by the president on the grounds that a Czech volunteer corpora was not wanted and was not approved by the leader. Krejči mentioned on this occasion that at that time the president mentioned to the Reichsguardor Freiherrn v. Neurath has already made the offer to set up a Czech volunteer corps, but this was also rejected at the time. He asks once again whether it is perhaps desirable at the present moment to establish such a force.
