Translation. Presidium of the National Authority in Prague. No. 44.084 Prague, August 2nd, 1939. Forwarding of news of the District and State Police authorities. Very urgent! LN Strictly confidential! $.d.d /_12.40. Circular to the executives of the district authorities, dis political exposure, the police Directorates, the State police authorities and State police exposure in Police N./Metuji. In its circular of 10 July 1983, No 34.402, I made the members of the Board of Directors aware of the lack of information found to exist in relation to the superior authorities, within the meaning of the decree of the Ministry of the Interior of 8 July 1983. Nevertheless, as in the case of our authority, the Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior has once again stated that many of the political and police authorities I. have not paid sufficient attention to the local wave and that they even take a very passive attitude to very important events of fundamental importance, which come together in their legal district. They do not reach the initiative and even neglect the duty of service which is so self-evident to report these incidents to the superior authorities. As an example, I quote that one of the district authorities for the month of June and July did not give a single message about the events that occurred in its district, although the local office subsequently determined that the gendarmerie had delivered 2l messages to that district authority during the period referred to above, which should be immediately and indisputably communicated to the superior authorities. Once again, I would like to draw the attention of Mr Borstanden to the above-mentioned circular and to the fact that they are under personal responsibility obliged to give immediately and immediately the necessary message about the events in their legal district. In the first row, the Yakx pre-legislative authority must be informed of all criminal acts of a political nature, for in such cases, timely information can often prevent inconsistencies on the part of irresponsible individuals and eliminate shortcomings which could be an obstacle to the development of the situation in the area of the legal district 1 F 5 / Prf Li
