English Translation

96 The rural population of the OLB Brno expresses their disgust at the government of emigrants more and more clearly. Here it is pointed out that in 1938/39 Czech divisions stood at the borders, and Benesch did not give the order to shoot; but today, where the Czech people died defenselessly, he demands that it be opposed to the Germans. Minister Moravec's speech at the Pilsen rally will continue to be commented on in the same spirit as he did yesterday. The mass visit will not be traced back to the public's interest in the rally, but rather to the skilful coercion of the individual companies. Thus, workers from the Skoda factories explained that this rally had taken place as in previous May celebrations, where they also had to hand over the control stamps to prove their presence. Officials from the district authorities in Pilsen felt concerned because Moravec had not mentioned the employees in any of his speeches and also in Pilzen. They would, according to their statements, fulfill the duty as well as the workers, but Moravec would expect them to be intelligent. Deutsch-friendly Czechs only took a position on the rally with regard to the person of Hai. They said that sharks should not be admitted to such rallies, as he is one of those on whom he has a judgment as an incarnated communist. It caused a great stir among the Czech population. Minister Moravec descended in the hotel "Deutsche Hof". It was said that it was a shame that a Czech minister descended instead of in the Beseda in a German restaurant in such a way and proved that he preferred to enter German society. Positive statements about this speech are only available on a few occasions. For example, workers in the OLB Kolin said that the speech of Minister Moravec in Pilsen was the best up-to-date, since he particularly attacked the capitalists and the intellectuals.
