Broadcast time: 20.45 h Language: Czech. Reception: extremely disturbed. A few words about the pea- tures on March 5th: We have heard the follow-up of the Prague Radio about the Prague celebrations on March 15th. We are not surprised that Czech dignitaries with Hacha at the top have involuntarily followed the command.If the car is riding on 4 wheels, the 5th wheel should not stay at home. The whole propaganda direction scatters sand into the eyes of the people. A Czech proverb says that if you catch the bird, you sing it beautifully. From the Prague radio we learn from the conversation that Hacha had to publish in the Volkischer observer.The English Foreign Minister clearly stated in his message who the British Empire is capable of. K.H.Frank will still see how large the number of intellectuals behind Benesch is. K. H.Fank streicht hus, K lchitsky,Scnlacht on the white mountain, German colonisation,Havlitschek, T.G.Masaryk,Neruda and Čapak from Czech history. He only hears the adventurer Rys and Vala,Prank knows nothing about Charles IV, that he was Roman emperor and that he founded the Charles University, which Frank also leaves out of the life of the Czech Volkes. Frank turns the story and the stream of Czech spirit around.He just does it so that as many people as possible are locked into the torture chambers. That's how little Moritz imagines the history of the Czech people, but enough of it. The Czech public employees must swear a new oath to the Germans.The oaths do not apply.It is just 30 years ago that a German scribe said that a people who are forced by violence have no liabilities.The Czech public workers have taken their oath of the Czechoslovak Republic. In a radio address Roosewelt gave the view of the American leadership wééder. He condemned the actions of Germany; the world needed a possible peace, security of the small nations, freedom of mind and religion.There can be no lasting peace if the small peoples subjugated by the great peoples, there cannot be a direct peace if justice is suppressed.
