9 pressurizing or silently, and therefore being fought against as enemies, if, for example, a people like the Serbs is being negotiated, it is because otherwise it would be necessary to put a policist behind every single Serb. With the Czechs this is different, The Czechs want to live and live comfortably, and this their comfort principle never makes a super-police task seem necessary. Outside of the cultural sphere, the Czech have no initiative to develop according to this government view. However, even here there is greatest restraint. An own-initiative proposal by a private individual to reopen Czech universities contained one demand and was therefore completely inappropriate. One also had to take note that it was not part of the plan of Minister Moravec to attract a Czech higher education inte- nance. Moravec did not want any university intelligence at all. Chalupa's sentiments about a resignation or promotion of Minister Bertsch are annoyed as an aside phantasies. In a number of Czech politicians, it is more often considered that they were among the Führer's confidential advisers. The Chalupa's objective was also to make Moravec binding in such a way that he believed that he would be able to raise the propaganda account of Minister Moravec by reopening the Czech universities, which would fall on the Chalupan earnings account. Chalupa, who had promised a great deal from his memorandum and had already anticipated the success of the memorandum through various comments, began to point out in the last few days to individual Tsehechi personalities that it had not been sent at all. He seems to want to achieve that the failure of his memorandum project would have a prestige loss for him. Nebesky and Hruby conclude that their intervention at Krejči would not be far from the point of view of Chalupa's position.
