4a by the refugee Minister of Agriculture at the end of the evening on the London radio. Despite the staggering scale of the violations against the decree of the Reich government on extraordinary broadcasting measures, only a relatively small number of cases have so far succeeded in apprehending and supervising Czechs as radio criminals in the security police. It is in the essence that in the future an effective fight against the listening of hostile radio stations is not to be expected from a transfer of perpetrators in individual cases. It is therefore necessary to take additional special measures that promise a greater wide-ranging effect in the Czech people. I ask you to proceed in the following way in future: i cellotedkofteklogadaats 1.) In all individual cases, in which Czechs known as anti-Germans are accused of interception of foreign channels, it is independent of whether the transfer of the perpetrators by witnesses is possible to carry out the confiscation of the radio in question immediately. SLU 2.) All Czechs who have to be warned or punished by the state police because of German-hostile statements or acts are to accept radio equipment which is in their possession on the grounds that their German-indigenous attitude is fed openly by the influence of hostile radio stations. There is no need for proof of the actual listening of hostile broadcasting. 3.) In the case of anti-German actions by unknown persons who have hitherto been punished by the arrest of hostages, it is necessary to examine in future whether there is the possibility to take additional action against certain groups of persons (especially the Czech intelligence) or districts by general seizure of the radios. 25513 I
