-9- 1L Moravian Slovakia.The Slovaks had understood that their bridge was not economically self-evidently viable. Therefore, according to these agreements, Slovakia would be incorporated into the Reich in some way and this would only take place with the addition of Moravian Slovak Republic. Only through the growth of the land, people and economy, Slovakia would form a strong, independent whole and thus be capable of a most extensive autonomy within the framework of the empire. This beer bank policy went from inn to inn and was particularly widespread among the peasants. The courts found the ground here insofar as the farmers are very dissatisfied with the war economy. Matëj Zadflek from Hulken, a right-wing farmer, is said to have literally expressed himself in an aolchen Geapräch: "If aie let us live anatändig, then no one should come to us with the Seperatiemus!" Beside Ryba in this context still play a role of the Vlajka man Vetchys he is parb mill owner from an Ortachaft near Olomouc. It is said of Vetchy that he maintained ala Vlejka-Menn good cross-link to the NS and, therefore, also achieved great raw material allocations. He was said to have done good business on this Veise. Once lower bagged the Pabrikant Barton from Dobenin the Vlajka with 5O.O00.- K, which he attributed to Vetch. But Vetchy only carried out 25,000.- K and also paid out 1.o00,- K for expenses. Ryba also maintained relations with the agricultural industry magnate Stoupal, who wanted to win Ryba (probably with money bids) for agricultural-party goals in the Mihrian Slovakia and with him a richly nourished peasant organization in the Mthrian Slovakia. As I know Stoupal, he scoured the mehriech-slovak lumbar population from the Vlajka with the help of a powerfully dangerous Rybe, in order to remove himself later inconspicuously. Ryba is now supposed to be an employee of the Moravskoelovácké hospodáfské družetvo (Ldw. Ein- und Verkaufsgenossenschaft). A further increase was achieved by these separations on the 2nd anniversary of the independence of the Slovaks ./.
