The natural-based pole of it wee the reduction of the life-atendartes of the whole population, the increase of the labour-sigkeåt and the emigration. To this end, the Techechoslovak Republic of the Problen would join forces to provide the funds of the Czech and German populations, who would leave the area which should fall on Germany from Purcht before the unilateral brutal Nazi regime. With these economic damages, which Czechoslovakia would threaten with the amahme of the pordings of Hitler's memorandum, there are still far-reaching consequences of the implementation of this pording suf the area of traffic. As a result of the assignment of the territories demanded in Hitler's Momorandum, the main lines of connections of the Eioenbshnen and streets of the Republic would be destroyed. The direct connection of Prague with the South and North Slovakia would be ebonso impossible to go as the connection of the Prague with Sudost and North Moravia. The whole republic would have been torn into three pieces by traffic and without proper and direct connections. Here, the Czech Republic would also be around its envelope plates at the Zlbe and around the access to Pressburg. With a Vorte, it would be in traffic techni- cal terms bie to the complete Öhnmncht. Militarian Lihmung The execution of Hitler's memorandum under these circumstances also became militarily lühmon the republic. The Czechoslovak territory, deprived of its natural mountain borders, narrowed by the removal of extensive German, aber also mixed and purely techedhic areas, whose western fence would only be connected to the eastern part of Slovakia by a narrow strip, we would be at the mercy and mercy of the German Reich, in concrete terms, and that would be all the more akin to its war-industrie and its important fortifications, and in view of the then given territorial situation no new fortification could be built. In efficiency, the conditions of Hitler's Eemorandum mean that the whole West of the Republic, both Bohemia and Moravia, would be delivered to the Deute Reiche on grace and grace. Assuming that Hitler's memorandum could de- tinue to lack knowledge of the actual national and economic conditions of the republic, it is necessary to see in it the desire to paralyze the Czechoslovak state to full economic and political indifference, thereby contemplating the complete domination of the Central European region by the Douche Reioh. The Czechoslovak government has expressed the best will to solve the waste German question by going to the extreme border and adopting the French-British Vorechlag a basis for the agreement. At this firm and decisive will, even under the new government, the inspector of the Wehrmacht General Syrový is at the head of which all the Czechoslovak parties are fully identified. Will to reach agreement The Tsohechoslovak government is convinced that there can still be a real agreement and the preservation of the primacy of the requirement that the Western Groauml- te, France and England, insist on the precautions agreed in Berchtesgaden, which they submitted to the Tachechoslövak Republic on September 19th.
