English Translation

The Czech people had made a big mistake, which had to be made up for as quickly as possible and in peace. It had to painfully find out how wrong that legionnaire had been and how unsocially the Legionnaire clique had acted. The paper recalls the speech of the Secretary of State of 2 December v.J. At the Old Town Square, in which he had already pointed out the necessity that the Czech people had to free themselves from the historical myth, barren illusions and ideologies. The Czech people had absolutely no need to adhere to illusions, sentimentalities and false feelings that were lying and contrary to the truth, of whose nonsense and harmfulness it had long since convinced itself. "Venkov" demands thorough handling of this question. The Reich's reasoning and the legionary sense were opposites that could not live alongside each other. Legionary ideology is impossible in addition to empire ideology. If the nation is to be educated for the idea of the empire, it is natural that as educators no legionaries are established, but others that are not linked to the old political and social order. Now the Legionnaire question was raised with all the energy from the German side and this means that with the position of the legionnaire and with the whole legend, which was constructed around it, without halfness will be accounted for. "Večer"_ underlines that it is good that the legonnaire legend had once and for all not broken into anything. While the legionaries took all the high places, the other officials and officers remained seated. The worst effect was that the legationaries without shame assumed material advantages for what Minister Rashin said: "Work for the fatherland is not paid." Incapacitated people, people without any education reached places where they did not listen and where they could never have come. Today, more than ever, Raschin's principle must apply. "List mladych"_ points out that Bohemia and Moravia are a part of the Great German Empire and that the present state is definitive and unchangeable for a very long time. For the Czech people there are two ways: either to drown in vain illusions, or to affirm the things, to take the hand offered to cooperate and to participate for the sake of a will in the reconstruction of the world.
