Talks with the home country: The press officer of the president's office speaks: I u h w Mh o Mw n W Ao ao Ah M i h It was not Dr. Benesch who worked against an agreement with the Germans at the time of the republic. It was only Hitler who thwarted this agreement. Dr. Benesch has always conducted a peace-loving policy and was always ready to accept German proposals for cooperation. But Hitler always answered with lies. Dr. Benesch often showed himself germano-phile in his politics, so one can by no means kéhaupt that it was Dr. Benesch who had worked against the Germans. Let us take a closer look at the offers he made to Hitler, which were rejected by Hitler. Already in the year 33, an agreement was to be reached, but Dr. Benesch could not respond. At that time Hitler asked if he could not enter into a bilateral non-aggression pact. Dr. Benesch said damels that peace would only be preserved if one continued to work with England and France. Benesch knew immediately that Hitler did not want such cooperation with Fngland and France to happen. He said at that time that he was not doing anything behind the backs of these states, Hitler wanted to say that the struggle between Czechoslovakia and Germany would remain secret. So, when Hitler had failed, he turned to Foreign Minister Beck. On 26th of January 34, he succeeded in a non-aggression pact with Poland for a few years. Hitler broke through these and destroyed Poland, and the destruction of Poland was the first step towards Europe's destruction. Hitler also intervened at the unification of the League of Nations.
