e58 - 3 - People. Believe in the success of our great Seche, lead une une noch an experienced man, our txewex expensive President Benesch. Not only we, but also all our allies are informed today about what terrible suffering you have to endure. Today no one in the world believes the Henlein lies about the oppression of the Germans in the CSR. The German fraud was exposed by the event to Munich. Today the whole world has an opportunity to compare how the Czechs behaved towards their minds and how the Germans treat the techechic people today. I want to give you a few facts for comparison: At the time of the Republic there were 3.3ll German schools, not counting the technical and higher education institutions. Today our Czech children do not have a single school in the border area. The number of German libraries has been increased in a few years from something about Zooo to more than 2 million. Now the Germans also take away the Czech libraries, where they have taken part of their culture from the Czechs. The Czech children in the border districts die of cultural and physical hunger, while at the time of the republic the German children had all possibilities of development. We were so just against the Germans that we were sometimes sohon unpredictably against us. Thus we gave e.g. in recent years for the apprehension actions of Czech children an average of 37.7o crowns , we gave for the German children against Go Kronen . Today the Czech worker is driven by his workplace and replaced by German workers. The Czech special workers are deported from our factories wxdx either to the concentration camp or to the Reich as galley slaves. The National Socialist reorganization is built on the terrifying national and social sklaying of the techechic people. Remember how we dealt with the German workers- According to the Geneva system, our Czech trade union organisations received 95g of crowns, while the far less numerous German trade union associations received 7o4 million crowns. In the support actions, the Germans received the same allocations of bread and coal as the Czechs. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go into this count. You will surely wonder why I have reported all this. I want these facts not to be forgotten, and that each of you came to compare what reward we have earned from the Germans for our human behavior. I am talking about this so that you know that these figures possess dxx documentary value. On the other hand, these facts put the present German blood regime, which the Czech people must endure today, into the right light. We also prove by this that the so-called Sudeten Germans were not concerned with self-imposedness, but with domination. In them, the spirit of the bloodthirsty slave-holder, who exposes to Slavs, was expressed. Everything that we have created in our states, the figures I have quoted, all this justifies us enough. Everything we have made will once bring us interest. The sacrifice we have paid is generally acknowledged. You have learned from a declaration by Benesch that England does not feel bound by the Munich Agreement. Not only do we know the whole world knows today, What it means when the border stones of the Wenceslas Crown are moved. Believe firmly in it: Our techechian mountains will be ours again. By taking them, it was possible that the Germanic sea flooded all of Europe. Czech mountains are a bulwark in Europe. Believe that we will win and you will also contribute to it by helping each other, supporting each other by educating your children in the right spirit, so that they may not. One day their Czech - 4 -
