English Translation

- 11 - Person of the president, with whose regime and po= litik the nobility was by no means indefensible - the cschechoslovakiache aristocracy law iet for the relationship between Benes and the aristocratic sympto= mati ch - but stood only by the interests of the state and, in particular, the historical countries of the Bohemian Crown. The parties involved in the Benes-Adreese, however, gave a solemn assurance that they would stand up for the intact preservation of the historical boundaries of the countries of the Bohemian Crown, which not only formed a natural geographical unit, but also a historic and economic unit through a thousand years, out of which the greatest shocks, in a special economic way, threatened to break apart. The situation at the time of the Second Republic has been largely justified by the views of the people involved in the rally. The second republic proved incapable of living as a self-employed political and economic entity, it was necessary to replace it with the protectorate, that now economic and state= legally forms an integral part of the Great German Rei= che. For the correct understanding of the address, the following must be emphasized: At the moment of mobilization and the danger of war, the mood of the population was stirred up by constant agitations to the greatest arousal. In some areas already approaches to communist unrest were shown, which vóa the government was tolerated.
