English Translation

X -4 people of the Mihrish-Slovak tribe in the framework of the existing order, with a sentence: "Mehrische Slovakia den Mährischen Slovaken!" But that was all! How different it should be: the peasant, church-conservative population is for revolutionist actions, whose it would have been difficult to have in itself. The intellectual element, in turn, was gum part of Prague. In part passive. Ee remained at the passive rejection of the Bohemian teches. Now, after the establishment of the Protectorate, the solution of Moravian-Slovak regionalism to this limited extent was expected by the Germans. It was hoped that there would be a kind of life-giving ability, the exchange of technical officials, employees and businessmen by Mihrian Slovaks, and the transition to a regional economy would have several advantages in the private sector, in short a preferential treatment in the protectorate. The Moravian Slovaks did not believe that they could expect such a position from the Slovak state. They felt culturally higher than the Slovaks (twisting people's consciousness) and they would have had to accept new masters. Because there was no contact with Hlinka and his ideology. One felt trots belonging to all the Bohemian Moravian predestined community. But above all, it is economic reasons which determine restraint. Membership of Slovakia would be economically burdensome to the Mihrische Slovakia; it would be the giving part. In the immediate federation of the empire, however, all possibilities are seen - d under the condition of a certain preferential service before the techechen. So as far as we can speak of a political development in Moravian Slovakia since 1 939, it is the policy of a rural and aoccupied population, which strives to achieve close goals and fears to lose the money or to pay the bills in the event of a higher game, without having bought something permanent for it in the given surroundings. It is also a popularity, which stood big in no appreciable "enemy touch" with the German ethnicity, a popularism, which, as far as it is still ground-based./.
