153 -3 - The new inspectors of the Supreme Prize Office and the agronomists employed by the Ministry of Agriculture provide further evidence of the extent to which the German-hostile civil servant practices his profession in the anti-German sense. They understand almost nothing of the problems of their field of responsibility, which are mostly in the economic sphere. Hruby cites cases of example. The former officers are sent in their capacity as control officers to supervise the prices on the butcher market over land. Thanks to their factual ignorance, they do not make any distinction between slaughter cattle and breeding animals, the officers punish and force the farmers to sell the slaughter cattle as breeding animals. If the farmers contradict this, the responsibility for this is increased to the German authorities and the German friendliness of the farmers is attacked by ironic statements. In another case, a former officer in the district of Wit-tingau in southern Moravia, who was employed as an agronomist, could be proved to have a practice bordering on economic sabotage. The officer mentioned rejected these requests and, on the other hand, gave the report of the proper completion of the field work in the Wittingau district. In the Ministry of Agriculture itself, there are people with a similar form of administration and administration. Of these, the officers were presided over with intent as a tumultuous element of the rural population. It seems that President Hácha is more and more aware of the true core of the politicians surrounding him. He has been calling Hruby more and again in recent times to discuss state measures. Hruby, however, is very reserved because he had to realize that his earlier submissions and proposals were issued by Minister Havelka and other men of the government at a later stage than their own intellectual ideas.
