Evening Czech Word 10.1.1941. and r ca A crucial position on legionnaires. Clear and understandable words from the povo-lané mouth about the Legionnaire's handle. Frank, published in the January ensemble of cha-sop, Böhmen und Mähren, followed by a recent speech by Mr.Rish protek- toro, who, in his retrospective for 1940, assessed the positive performances and joyous ini-ciativa developed by the Czech circles, points out, however, that certain circles - in particular, the layers of intellectuals - despite the serious teaching of war - have not yet been convinced that the new situation will serve the lives of the Czech community." Tim reminded the Austrian protector of a special appearance, which is characteristic of the position of the Czech nation, of the contradiction between the calm and the work willing to protrude the masses of workers into new proportions and nervousness, between passive re-surgery and malicious poisoning of the well fluk-tense activity of one part of Czech intelligence. It cannot assure any observer that men who sit in the offices and other leading figures- them and who feel called as mentally in the tutoring of their nation try to tear down what a healthy instinct of the nation will be. To the rest of the mental junk of the time that will never come back, belong as one of Beneš's best-lived children's fantasies of legion- lamenting ideology. It is one of the most insidious obstacles to German-Czech coexistence, for after a number of their adherents is just in the ranks of a- a tutoring layer" within the Czech nation also today great and sows evil. The whole legionnaire legend could be considered as an internal Czech curiosity, if it did not contain unbearable hatred of the Germans, and if its bearers, legionns themselves, and their mental minions, were not previously promoted to posices, where they could for 20 years develop their miserable jobs and where they are still established today. This fact is important for the ratio of Bohemia to Rishi, which cannot be overlooked. It requested a clear commitment with the German parties called for. State Secretary K. H. Frank clarified this fundamental and current question in his article in the journal ©Böhmen und Mähren. He deals with the world's view and historical origin of Le-Gionary ideology, as well as the documentary excerpts of the powerful influence that legionnaires and the spirit of Czech national life gainedı. It points to the political and educational power of the Czechoslovak legionaries, the legionary institutions and the Czech-Slovak Union of Teachers, conducted by Beneš, whose heads were given by his own admission to vaccinate the youth of the legions' spirit, t. to raise it to an unbearable hatred of Him-coum. Legionnaires managed to get into their hands in the army almost all higher dignity-nick town and Czech dūjniks, who remained faithful to their oaths to the Austrian army, systema- tically exclude. Direct grotesque practice in counting servicemennieh years became a dark exi- stence overnight by high officers general- nich staff. In addition, legionaries took a detour through the Legiobank and their protector at the castle zít- skat very influential economic power. He had put on tobacco direction from top to the newsrooms, in the cinemas, the weapons industry, etc.
