English Translation
57 - 3 - to the board of directors of the political service Dr.Morway very well proven. According to the few indications, which political resistances still have to be reckoned with at the Prague Town Hall, the German position of struggle becomes even more visible through the increasingly violent attempts of Klapka to rise up to speak for the Czech nation towards us Germans. From this his ambition can be explained the juridical sophistries as well as his efforts to deal with the regulation of my participation in the city guidance. Thus, I had to find that he is mainly engaged in beam transfers without my knowledge. I asked him in writing what I had been given the answer that, according to his sense of right and his legal knowledge, it was not necessary to participate in the transfer of officials on my part. Only in the case of appointments of officials, my co-signation was required. In my complaint, which I then addressed to the President of the State as an arbitration body, I stressed that, according to the wording and meaning of that earlier regulation, my right to sign is in question in all matters where a decision of the Primator is taken. It is also still the case that circulars are issued through the direction of the service and are signed by Klapka, of whom I will only receive later information from the newspaper. I have also kept my guard against this process again. When I spoke to Dr. Morway, director of the political service, only one thing came out that Klapka is quite the thriving spirit in these matters. This also became visible to the other public when Klapca occasionally gave a politically impossible speech to Alfred Rosenberg's visit to the Old Town Hall. What he expressed there had nothing to do with the city administration, but was a defense speech of the Czech Republic's dad se ca ta da a da demand for the reopening of Czech high schools clearly proves what he wants to abuse his Prague position for. I have made the wording of his speech available to all the competent authorities in the hope that the systematic advances of the German side will not remain unanswered.
