If, during my work as Prime Minister in the Protectorate, there have been unsustainable political and economic responsibilities, I do not consider myself guilty or co-inflicted, I think I have done everything to avoid these conditions. As far as I have not succeeded in this, I can only justify this by the fact that too many forces have worked against me. Selbet read, understood, approved and signed: Ullow tas Closed: My dipther.
