32 a But if our hopes are not fulfilled in this direction and Budweis remain in protectorate, we as German citizens of abroad will be just as if we were in the kingdom, fulfilling our pledges against leadership, people and kingdom. But there is a danger that a large part of the people will then leave us. If the city and its administration remain in the Raimen & es Protectorate Czech, it is to be expected that the boycott will continue against all German from the Czech side, that the German worker will still not get a job in Czech enterprises, and that public investments in a mass as is necessary for the economic recovery of the economy will be carried out by the Czechs nifty, because they simply lack the means to do so and when they are carried out, it can be expected with certainty that då ei will primarily be employed by Czech workers. Lir is likely to be reduced by the fact that the existing state borders fall to mere administrative boundaries, even a greater part of it, to the economic life of the Bohemian Forest, but all this is not enough to give our Germans in Budweis and Ungeigt the support, not only to hslten their positions, but also to make the city and its disparity German again, as it was through centuries. We do not have a violent denationalization of the Pschechen ia sense, but only such a strengthening of the German people's share, which he again becomes the dominant. For these reasons, I would ask that the above suggestions be examined in detail and I hope with all the Bud- sig- nificant Germans that we will find a solution which will clearly guarantee our future and even more that of our children in German empires.
