-3- SENDER LONDON (Czech): The foreign minister of the CSR, J a n M a s a. r y k, who has just returned from the USA, speaks to you: "You must forgive me that I have neglected you for so long and had no opportunity to speak to you. But you know that I was in America and had to stay there longer than expected. First of all, I would like to express my deepest admiration to the English people and to the people of London. The achievements of the English boys are very great. I had the opportunity to admire them from the noe. I am happy that our pilots have also had the opportunity to participate in these achievements and they have proved to be equal to the English Cologne and our tradition. - I offer you the warm greetings of the Naerican and Canadian Czechs and can assure you that everyone goes with us, including the Slovaks. There were still some of these who consider the Tuka and the Tiso to be real Slovaks, but these will always become weni. ger. And once the Slovaks in America should know nothing more of dicsen ligists, it looks like for these evils. Unfortunately, there are many such Ligists in Europe, but they are either traitors or stupid people. I have visited all Slovaks who have taken the stance of the Pitsburg Treaty harshly, but also these have already changed. - I spoke of us in a meeting of lo ooo people. After the speech an old miner approached me and said: *Take this and give it to the one of our Sol aten who kills most of the Germans". And in his hand he had a looo dollar note. This 60-year-old miner had covered 5oo km, and to give me these savings. So are unsere people and these are also the war. And now e twas of Hácha. This poor man recently announced that you must be good Czechs and at the same time good Germans. I don't know how the poor man imagines this. It would be as if someone were breathing doubtingly. To ask a Czech to be a good interpreter would be the same as telling the Gobbel that he must be a kind Ischeche. Meanwhile, these Detzech-Czechs of Mr. Hácha are working their way here in London. They throw Boeben at the civilian population and, as the latest feat, have sunk a ship loaded with children. However, we announce with confidence that we will win the truth in the end. God bless you, I beckon you the good night." (The Spanish minister Sunner was in Berlin when bombs fell. He went into the same shelter as the speaker of the blumbia-broad-vasting radio, the speaker described this meeting and admired the skill of the British pilots who hit the targets and did not become bombs indiscriminate from high altitude, but illuminate their objects from low altitude before and then Borbard. It seemed as if the British had descended to 3oo m.- In today's attacks on Bristol, g3 Germans and 5 Brits were shot down.- South East England was also attacked. Losses and damage to property were low. dd dr dr "Polonia restituta!"- -\
