16.1194/. - 3 - the deep love of every Czech and Slovak for his nation. The expression of the determination to make every sacrifice for the people, the expression of love for freedom, the longing for justice, the manifestation of the effort to assert the true ideals of freedom, brotherhood and equality. The legi- naries fought not only for the future of their own people, but also for the whole of Europe, of all humanity. That was the task imposed on them by the nation. In the name of this program they beat the Germans at Bachmac in lgl8, and this program we have maintained in the best times of our millennial history. Mr. Frank also does not know that these legions came from all layers of our people. They were workers, peasants, doctors, officials, artists, etc., they were representatives of all political parties, of all directions, who introduced the whole people. After their return to their homeland, they serve faithfully and surrender to the Republic and the people, and went wherever they wanted the interest of the State and the People, and because they worked for the liberation of the people it has and will always love them. If Mr Frank were a cultured Mationalist, he would recognize this sign of the national aspirations of a people.The longing for freedom and the desire for social justice is the symbol of Le- gionärtum, which is also the basis of our national spirit and this will not be eradicated, not even by the greatest violence. Mr Frank must understand that all conscious Czechs are legionors in this sense. Our people have survived the 30-year war, and it will also survive the Nazis, because they believe that about the new order that the Nazis want to set up around the world, England and its allies will win, who will bring the Helt a real new order on the basis of equality and the right for the weak and for the strong of honor for the people of economic and social equality. We agree with the National Socialist Socialism, of which so much has now been said, but the success will be different from what they imagine. Hitler forced our people to wage a second defensive struggle after 25 years. At the forefront of this struggle is the legionary of the World War President Benes, at his side again the participants at the first defense, the legions. The happy 20 years of our republic showed the people that the idea of legionaries was good and just and therefore the people firmly believe that this idea will bring freedom again. Frank confirmed our faith to us and we thank him for it, it is a encouragement for us. Zs will not succeed in shaking the spirit of our people, if he also lets Melnik give birth to it a thousand times and forces the Czech press to repeat his views over and over again. He would need a tremendous amount of time to carry out his project, but he will not have that time.- Continuing the speech of Dr. B e n e s c h : /see report from l3.- "One can ask the question whether the CSR, Poland, Norway, Holland and Belgium are contributing to the fight against Nazi Germany. It is certain that they too will contribute. The most important thing is that by showing the world the real character of Nazi Germany and the appearance of the new German order and what this dishonest regime would mean, it would govern the whole world. The world has already understood this and has therefore pronounced the death sentence of this government.
