22a at that time, because of their policy against the aristocracy, did not achieve a particular reputation, all the more so since the behaviour of the remaining property owners, which emerged from the land reform, was in no way comparable to that of the former nobility families of the rest of the Czech population. At that time it had turned out that the old down-to-earth nobility was in the truest sense of the word noble, but was completely unfinished by the land reform "defiled", while the "new nobility" (Political party leaders and the rest of the property owners employed by them) pursued only self-serving purposes with the soil reform. The less-mediated Czech rural population in particular would soon have realized after the land reform that the action of the system against the nobility was also a big mistake for the Czech people. But to the nobility the separation of parts of his possession and their transfer to persons who did not understand much about agriculture, as well as immediately began with wage pressures and other unpopular measures, would have helped to a new increase of his reputation and caused a large-scale conversion of all circles directly and middle-early dependent on the nod. 69153 Although the chauvinist Czech side described these nobility appearances as the bearer of German culture in the Bohemian countries, and it was reluctantly seen when inter-Jewish ties existed between the Czech and German nobility, there was little change in the attitude of the population, so that the nobility was often the center of its entire environment. The strong anchoring of the clerical party in the country would have been due essentially also to the close relationship with the nobility, since the aristocracy as the bearer of the ecclesiastical patronates enjoyed an increased reputation also in religious terms. For this reason, the cllerical party had been given an essential support, especially in the case of the vile inhabitants of the country. Although there were various slogans of industrial workers in rural communities, and the nobility was called the representative of the aristocracy and thus the enemy of any social attitude, most of the Czech inhabitants held on to their benevolent attitude towards the aristocrat.
