142 Nr.11g Stok.15.1Abt.3 Dt.6 Process: 7hades 1n - 3 - Pauchel measures against the legionaries in a large part of the population arouse the Zinpress, that this should be met with Czech patriotism. I am here at the generous rally of the leader and Reichskenzler in his answer to my telegram of 15th October. Kärz 1940, in Velcher the commemoration of the protection of the Czech netional conceptions is pronounced. As I believe, it would also be an act of preserving these sentiments if it were to be withdrawn from the revelation that all legionaries are enemies of the kingdom, and even if here, in a just way, individually, depending on the opposite aided individual and according to the views expressed by him in the day. This aim is pursued by my request that the legionaries in public service may not be excluded from the posts due to their former membership of the legions in Bausch and Bogen and not be regarded as unsuitable for their own interests.
