- 20 - Hell-Havas from Berne: In a long study on the Austrian restoration, which is published by the Zurich newspaper VolKsREcHT, it is said that for the majority of the Austrians this war is not their war. Since the official French declaration, the violent annexation of Austria has been a matter of concern to the general public. Thus, nothing stands in the way of a discussion of this problem in broad circles. HellHavas from Vatican City: The Prague incidents and commenting on their repression, the newspaper OSSERVATORE ROMANo believes that the Czech student demonstrations reflect not only the feelings of the high school students, but the entire population of the Protectorate. The newspaper adds that the manifestations were first put under German control by the transfer of the university's leadership in opposition to the statute, which provides that the university belongs solely to the country of the father and the Czech nation, The Vatican organ also believes that it would be wrong to attach a sense of importance to the dissatisfaction of the Czech students. One must see in this the expression of feelings of a political nature. The newspaper brings the short interview published by DAILY MAIL Benesch in Erinnerung, in which the former President of the Republic declared that his people are also in a state of conflict against Germany: "The Czech nation is spiritually and morally in a war-making against the German Reich." Hell-Reuter from London: Until now there is no great revolt against the Nazi regime: it would be premature" at the present moment senseless. The time is not yet ripe, but it will come soon, Jan Masaryk explained in an interview. In the end ee de e the Nazis systematically set up a denationalization plan, the economic ruin of my people as they turn it against all those of whom they believe they cannot resist, they will fail. Masaryk explained that he regularly receives news about the activity in Czecho-Slovakia and about the German oppression through secret channels. Czech eyes were shut down in stages.
