English Translation

3 15 On 19 September the press section stopped the "main correspondence" and two days later the comrades Oldřich Novotný and Bernart were arrested. In Moravian-Ostrava, an advertising event was held in September by the Board of Trustees, in which leading officials spoke of the memorable Wate: "We Czechs may well be socialists, but never national socialists because this right is reserved for the Germans." Anyone can think which far-reaching consequences such a view of a Czech- the functionary of the curator's office for the further education of the Czech youth must have which, after a well-known prophecy - from now on in not quite 7 months - no one should recognize very much.October brings many of our comrades an overspeed from the employment office. Finally, on November 20th, comrade Hallman will be transferred to the Reich in Wroclaw. In Prague, he was most recently a press officer in the trades union, where he worked as a model. His current income possibilities are K 350.- weekly, of which he has to pay for his sleeping place and an unheated room K 245.- week (I?). So he is left with K 105.- on food and all other expenses weekly and also for his wife and his half-yearly son here. Equally untenable is the sit- tion of the comrade Wilt, who finally maturated at a German middle school. However, the situation of all other comrades in Reich is pacific and to very good. December 19th brought us a small surprise from the curator's office. Zdenko Vaněk and with him a number of his employees were immediately removed from the board of trustees.
