- 2 - ( Consequences of the main points of the Treaty ). Jn London has not yet been officially adopted on this pact. However, the most important reason for the conclusion is the attempt in London to divert the attention of the Italian and German people from the fact that, as promised, the war has already ended now or in the foreseeable future, Die deutsche und ital.Population would certainly have preferred to see an action that would quickly end the conflict. It seems important to the Treaty that mutual assistance should be provided in the event that one of the states mentioned is attacked by a great power not involved in the crisis. This point seems to be directed against the United States, because it is difficult to say which other great power should be concerned with this, - The French Constitution. The government has protested in Tokyo over the bombing of Hei-Pong. Japan's troops dropped some bombs on this city before the invasion of Jndöchina. The Balkan rapporteur of the Times reports from Bulgaria that it is generally believed that after the revision of the Dobruja a revision of Thracian will come. It is clear that this would cause a strong reaction in Turkey. The German penetration of Romania will continue. There are more planes and SS-people landed there. The Russians confiscated a large part of the money and furniture left behind by the resettled Germans in Gallatz. - German and Russian high officers visited the Bessarab border together. Berlin and the Roman Radio announced that the French ship Theophil Gauthier had been stopped by British units, but had then been liberated from the French military fleet. This message does not correspond to the truth. The French ship was made by a British ship. Not a single French warship was involved in this process. - The rumor was only enraged to doubt the British supremacy in the Mediterranean. L Except for other news (she. above ) a speech by the Monsignor Schramek, Prime Minister of the CsR in London about the St. Wenceslas: "(Length introduction and description of the person of St. Wenzel.....) he had made an agreement with the German emperors, which was not based on a rule of the German people over the Czech Republic, but on an equal participation of the Czech people in the construction of the empire. This participation was carried out by princes and kings on the basis of the protection of the Jnteresses. It was an honest co-operation not to be compared with the integration of our people into Hitler's empire as protectorate. The Germans often make a comparison between today and then and commit themselves to it in their favor. This wrongly ... King Wenceslas saw further as his brother when he admitted the influence of the German element on the national development and on the culture of the Czech people. Our efforts to connect the national cause with the service of public and general Jntäresse were also shown. It is no coincidence that our first president took the motto of the Basel délegation as the basis for our new state ..... The Jdeale des St. Wenceslas have become today in the greatest extent spiritual property of the Czech and Slovak people. -3-
