57 - 4 - Continuation in Slovak language: And in connection with this I noticed what I recently told you about the treason of Tukas, who tried to betray Slovakia to Hungary through the military attack.Do not underestimate, dear friends, this intrigantic plan. They cannot prevent our final victory and the renewal of the Czech Czechoslovakian Republic, but they are looking for ways, as if the Hungarians did not have to restore to you the territories, which it wreaked on the basis of the so-called Vienna Agreement and by the raid on Karpatorussland in March 1939. They explain today and will continue to explain that KäaxHngarn Tukas Slovakia, Antoneskus Romania and Dawelitd Croatia were on the other side: sided like Hungary and also battered against Russia. Why couldn't they keep the robbery, which they executed with the help of Deutsland and maybe get even more? I tell you this to warn you of what aue Tuka treason threatened you and still threatens and to ask you to stand up against these regimes wherever you can and also against Germany, and to destroy and disturb his war machine. And that you avenge all that they have done to you and against us. And against the aliens, the regime of Pukae and Tysc. You can get back what you become, legally taken from Tuka and Tyao, and from their alliances in Berlin and Rome. We, on the side of the allies, will do everything for Slovakia as we like. Finally, I assure you: do not be afraid for your destiny, do not fear for the future of all the dear slovaki people and the beautiful Slovak homeland. But among you there is a rae of cowards, traitors and weaklings, whose one must get rid of, who must be judged, to whom however the Slovakx people still remained Kollars, Hurban-Vajanskys, Sefaniks and Masaryks. As indomitable and his tachechiechen brothers faithful led. It is a people who, together with the Czechs, will once again build up their republic and keep it for all time. I must honestly tell you that we also have to be aware of what we have done in the Republic in a fchlerish way. Brotherly and objectively explain everything to us and set everything right for the future. Above all, the young slovkis he generation, and the youth, whom I am overturned, that it has kept faithfulness to the republic u the Slaventum and for which there will be a time in the future new work, new construction, new great plans, goals and ideals. Vir ask this youth that they prepare themselves and a new bearer will be our famous common-same tradition. And in the end, we will re-establish our common republic and its institutions in old splendour and scope after the end of this war, in democratic unity and in fraternal spirit and in accordance with principles such as the ansakk, will require the needs of all parts of our Czechoslovak people and the new European situation. The Slovak and Czech people will decide on all this selk. And this is the message that I send to you on the anniversary of the treason of Tyso of 14.15 March 1939. Following the former Czechoslovak anthem.
