English Translation

612 Prague, July 1, 1939. Negotiated. It appears pre-conveyed Mr. President Dr. Vozenilek, known personals, becomes known to him, referring to his statement of June 6, 1939, according to which he did not want to have exerted any pressure during the negotiations with the Coburgers, which was carried out by the lawyer Dr. Rudolf Eisler, Vienna, wrote a stenogram about the discussion from the autumn of 1927 (Appendix 66 to the third part of the annexes to the main publication). He will be informed that this transcript is essentially in line with the sworn statement of the lawyer Dr. Kyjovski, Brno. Eisler only word-like my speech of then viedergaben and in many respects only need the interpretation, I cannot recognize this diaphragm a force of proof. Where in these discussions the expropriation price was held against the representatives of the Coburger, with reference to the debt, this disproportion is an outflow of the law of reform, according to which the estimate of the takeover prices was based on tables, while the estimators for the asset levy adhered to the real value. In this respect, it was not an individual pressure, but a general pressure from the land reform. The debts were not only the asset levy and other public burdens, but also loans from the Coburger to the agricultural bank and private liabilities of the same lawyers pp. In addition, the Coburgers were represented by such savvy lawyers, who were able to face the conditions, the laws and the possibilities, a kind of pressure exerted, precisely that it is inconceivable that the not personally present Coburger could have imposed some pressure which I dispute. They also had enough time to think about it. After reading me the statement of the Ing.Nykl of 28 and 29 June 1939, I explain: This statement contains a number of serious accusations against Razim, but also against me. They have to be proven first.
