The names of the doctors are the traitors who can find in the press. In Vestnik Ceskych, Lékaru. It speaks Dr. Prokop Drtina, the political speaker of the law firm of the President of the Republic. On the 13th and 14th the proclamation of President Benes was broadcast by the English radio. In this proclamation he dealt with the question of the Munich conference. Some parts of this historically significant speech were attacked by German-Czech propaganda sites in Bohemia. These attacks come to us very conveniently, because they give us the incentive to publish some facts that have not yet been known. Benes points out that Hitler offered him a non-aggression pact three times in the years l934/37. Benez rejected him, because he knew that Hitler could not be trusted. He refused because he knew that Hitler had taken advantage of this circumstance to break the trust that Benesch had in his people. The experience of the future proved that an agreement with Germany was impossible. When Hitler attacked Austria in 38, the non-aggression pact, which had been concluded two years earlier, did not stop him at all. Göring then sent the insurance to Prague that this measure did not threaten the C.S.R. in any way. He repeated this insurance two days later by telephone. A similar insurance was given to the English ambassador in Berlin, who was then published by Chamberlain in Parliament. Before the Munich conference, he claimed that his goal was to liberate only the Sudeten Germans, but Dås did not prevent him from inserting a million Czechs afterwards. On September 26, Hitler published that this was the last tertiary claim he had in Europe. And in six months on March 5, I939 he categorized the Czechs into the Reich. What happened to another people who trusted Hitler? On 26,1.34, Colonel Beck concluded a non-aggression pact with Hitler for 1 0 years. "The two countries commit themselves to eliminating all oppositions in a peaceful way. Despite this, Hitler began the war before this date had expired. Denmark just happened and as we know many other countries. Hitler claimed that he had occupied Prague because Benesch mistrusted him. But why did he occupy Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Slovakia and so many other countries? The Belgian king had even broken the military pact with France and England and what good did it do him? The relatives of the C.S.R. can be proud that Benesch realized that Germany is not a danger for its own country but for all of Europe. Unlike immoral Hitlerism, it is precisely our morality that steels une in the fight against our torments. 9 Czech pilots will work with British.
