29 P r a g , September 14, 1939 Final words of the Herr Reichsprotektor Exzellenz von Neurath on the occasion of the visit of the Land Office on September 14th_1939. I took your lectures on the Kenntniş. In detail, I cannot say here that I still have different things to say about it. Now there is no time. The work done here is correct. The popular struggle must be started and carried out. However, the political conditions currently do not allow it, so everything has to be stopped, because otherwise anxiety could be caused. Also in the church question we can not make ourselves at the moment more enemies than we already have. With the troop training stations also have to be waited for the appropriate moment. Because of my many experiences, I did not agree with the settlement in the Reich right from the start. We want to raise the soil, which has to be carried out here, in a healthy and correct way. I believe that this is a very good preliminary work. Of course, I cannot say today how and when these works will be completed. Thank you all for your work. I can't decide the forestry matter here, I have to check it again.
