In the Czechoslovak censuses, the Slonsaks were recorded in a particularly characteristic way. In the 1921 census the schlonsaks were noted on special count sheets, but local results were not published, but in the Czech-Slovak statistics Vol.IX, Part 1, Prague 1924, footnote on p.64 it says only: "In the Gaue Teschen in the whole 47 314 persons described themselves as "Slonsakes"; among them 24 299 to the Cescoslovak, 21 607 to the Polish, 1 408 to the German nationality. " To what extent in the population census of 1.12.1930 the Schlonsacks were recorded in a similar way, i st im Momentn ácht clarified. In the censuses the column was not filled by the head of the household, etc., but by the counter. However, the counter did not enter the entry with ink, but only with pencil.

Mayor Kozdon also suspects that such subsequent changes have been made in spite of repeated ideas at the Statistical Office in Prague, he has always been deprived of his insight into the filled-out counters.

In this way it would have to be possible to get to know the real national political attitude of the population much more closely than is possible today. The suggestion for this question has come from the Gauverband Schlesien. I am very much in doubt whether it will be possible to achieve something really positive in this way. I pass on the suggestion to you with the request to send me your opinion as soon as possible. If Three's view is in line with that of Gauverbd.Schlesien, I would be grateful if you could consult the competent authority in
