16d EI.e.17 Page 2 Karel Lažnovský fell on the front line of the new Europe e Karel Lažnovsky, editor of the Czech word and also the former Czech Worker's introduction, who died on October 1st, is the victim of the fall on the line of fighting for a new Europe, for the new place of Czech nation in its arrangement and for its better and happier future. In our country, we've gotten used to the methods of political murder, and the father of Alois Rashin stands as an isolated and frightening example in our history. The sadder it is that he had to come out from abroad to instigate this vile murder! What preceded the death of editor-in-chief Karl Lažnovsky? After being invited to the home of the former head of the Czech personality, several Czech editors recently became ill for symptoms of serious poisoning, so it was necessary to transport them to the German lazaret. The investigation has shown irrefutablely that it was a planned assassination for a group of after-sitively-minded editors, who have always addressed the lessons and warnings to their comrades over and over again, coming out of the knowledge that they must guide their nation on the right path. The international radio has long been pissing against this group of Czech no-vinarīf in the most rude way and asked to be made harmless. The context is quite clear.

This task, which was not easy by itself, was still carried out by Czech people, whose future and interest of their own nation were nothing and who served foreign interests out of indiscretion or wickedness. The important Czech personality gave the Czech Red-Cesky event a letter to the Czech word for the disposition, which the deceased sent her in February t. r. In the last three months, the campaign against political publicists and writerūm has become very sharp again. We are flooded with anonymous letters of such a kind that a person's heart really trembles at what the Czech people write to a writer who writes and works according to his most holy national conscience. This campaign, however, is already so far gone that women of these writers are already receiving such hideous letters - parents and j. They are boycotted by whole families, their members are in the neighborhood and on the street - women, embroidered by lying anecdotes and in the roughest way slandered. Mūj old, in the countryside living father, miner, is almost completely destroyed. © And finally it is
