13 M.4210 -3 - Jan MasaryK says: "The day before yesterday we commemorated the day of the ceasefire and the numerous mistakes that have been made since the World War. This will not be the case in the future, because this time Germany will be thoroughly charged. In your domestic press and radio you have learned that the election of Roosevelt has no influence on the coming triumph of Hitler's new Europe. Don't be deceived, because the election means that the free America. People, though sometimes with the domestic politics of the Americas. When I was in America recently, ifh found that most of the National Sociological Organizations were working for Willkie, which does not mean that they thought Willkde would help Hitler. They hoped, however, that a pause of 2 months would take place, as the new president, séine, will not begin work until January. They hoped that in those two months Roosevelt would not dare to take decisive steps. This has not happened, the United States will continue the policy it has pursued so far, and this is a clear blow for Germany and Italy. Already today Roosevelt has decided to increase the shipment of aircraft to England and mainly also to take the construction of ships for England vårzu-, in order thereby to replace the Verleuste, which has managed to add to Deutechland in recent times. I know the amerik. Shipyards very well and their productive capacity, which will continue to be a great help for the Allies in their crusade. In Roosevelt, Hull and Welles, the badly beaten csl. people have good and faithful friends. This week Poland and the CsR have published a joint declaration in which they speak of their unity and cooperation for their common interests in Central Europe. This was the first public step towards a consolidation of Central Europe after the war. We hope that our neighbours and the other European countries and major powers will follow this step, and the agreement between Poland and the CsR must form a firm basis for cooperation in Europe, and democracies will be guarantors of calm development until Europe is freed from the cleavage of the Breunhemds. In the last few days, the Greeks have destroyed an even more elite division. The Italians did not expect such a resistance from the Greek. They believed that they could occupy the country within a week. It is said that the self-timer Mussolinis, that is Hitler, is not satisfied with his property. What we are not surprised about. Last week they played you in the National Theatre in Prague "Germany, Germany above all" and the Horst Wessel song. It was still missing that the Gestapo had presented the sufferings of the Czech people on stage through their methods. I hope that at least the old employees of the theatre who work at the lodges have lit a incense candle, all the more to drive every trace of Goebbels away. Our National Theatre in Prague bears the inscription "Národ sobě" As we understand these words, we will one day teach the German pseudo-Siegfrieds.
