SENDER LONDON (Czech): Jan lasaryk: I speak to you 48 hours after Churehill's explanation of you and Munich, Churchill condemned Germany in this oath and, in my opinion, it is an explanation that Munich was an open fraud, that the signatures of Ritler and Mussolini today are not valid at all and that this treaty has lost every international commitment he had ever had. Now you have the customs union with the Reich and so you have to enter the Reich. We want to know that just like Munich, the Protelt orat was a fraud. That is perfectly clear. I was with our soldiers for the holiday of St. Wenceslas. We liked each other and it went well. The vetter was good, mucho Gaeete varen comven. The commandant Vestengland was also there and praised our young man, her attitude and her courage. I told the salvagers that you like them at home as much as I do at home. Then there was a marked military parade. I civilian atand between all the high military Hevren and told me that I was representing you at home, you from the small side, Smichoy, Košir etc. All of our men marched excellently towards Prague. At Ahend we sang Czech, Slovak and Moravian songs and I can assure you that we have had so many "quarters on your Cesundity. In the next places I will visit our planes and you are sure that I will tell you a lot about it. It will interest you to understand how I look at the international situation. De Gaulle's expedition to Dakar was a very great disappointment, but it showed little at all that the French can still defend themselves if they did so against their own compatriots. vir hope that they would show the same determination and determination if Germany or Italy wanted to take possession of them. To the Borlin treaty Jgan has for the time being had nothing more of this pact than the anvesenity of its own in signing. And Italy will receive as much dsken as Germany allows, the US's attitude against the axis will be awry to this pact.The meaning of the treaty is to prevent the Usa from entering into war at all costs. America and Russia know this. A la longue is the treaty against Kussland, and it is not excluded that he will have an influence euf d as friendlike relationship between Ruesland and Ghina on the one hand. Otherwise, what the treaty contains has already existed and the ideological cooperation of Vertra sjartner has also existed. Therefore everything must go on as if the pact did not exist. I have promised you to count book on America, but it does not heyte the time to do so. Keep on fighting and believing that the prophecy of Libusa has still been fulfilled: "The Czech people will not go anywhere!" The people have proved themselves and will continue to prove themselves. 2
