5y St.S.\v C-8/41. Prague, 14 July 1941. WW v e r me r k. Betr: Meeting of the Secretary of State with Mr. Prime Minister Eliáš, Minister Ježek and Minister Count Bubna-Litic on 14 July, 12.0 o'clock. 1.) The hostile radio in particular the Moscow station t aoqa a a aar broadcasts to the Czech people to sabotage acts against the empire. He gives detailed instructions for Sabota acts in all areas. State police found that such requests of the Moscow station were followed by the Czech population in various areas of the Protectorate - but so far to a small extent - which shows the interception of the enemy radio from Czech sections of the population. Over the last few days, the Czech peasantry has been called upon not to deliver agricultural products, to hide them, to prevent the harvest, etc. It has already been found that suitable means of fire are already being produced and distributed in the protectorate, for the destruction of the harvest on the stalk. On behalf of the Imperial Protector, I have today appointed the Prime Minister Eliáš, the Minister of the Interior Ježek and the Minister for Agriculture Count Bubna-Litic to draw their attention to these facts. I have told the gentlemen that it is necessary to immediately set up a "Czech crop protection aid" in all the agricultural areas of the Protectorate in order to ensure the proper recovery of the harvest. The men of the "harvest protection assistance" must be recruited from the rural local authorities and, if necessary, supplemented by any units of the air protection quotas now set up in the cities.
