EV -13 - inevitably call France and therefore England and Russia for the protection of the races of the Czechoslovaks on the Kamef latz. Only after 19 September did it appear in the press vague an= indications that the Western powers recommend certain territo=riale concessions. Thus, nothing else can be seen in the rally that took place in the critical days of mid-September, except the attempt made at the last hour to avert the threat of war and thus eliminate the tension that is on all sides. A striking light on the situation and circumstances under which the Benes address was given is cast by the fact that at the same time the rectors of the two Prague German universities and the professors of the latter also issued a similar declaration of loyalty, otherwise their opinion and perhaps also their personal safety would have been endangered and threatened. In spite of this also from the enclosed Zietungenotiz er= visible declaration of loyalty, a Reich authority has in the first place seen itself against those involved in this rally to derive any conclusions=. For the sake of sight it should be pointed out once again, since it is incorrect in the sense of the local terminology to speak of a "declaration" and of "declareants". In the Bohemian-Mihrian area, a declaration is understood to be a declaration under the law of the state. However, the legal character of the State was completely lacking.
