English Translation

h - l1 - If I am told that Dr. Anders was Minister of Agriculture in Am-to years ago, the then Czech Foreign Minister Dr. Beneš in his office held up this wooden theft of the Hodza, and that the minister Beneš had not told him by all the state-chon means to stand for this monstrous attack, but that he had only told him: "This skeleton in the cellar is known. Let it rest. You can see that he is still Minister of the Environment!", I can only explain this: So etvas is clear to me, if not inconceivable I I cannot say anything about the damages caused by the unlawful coercive administrations on the basis of allegedly owed assets by the coerct administrator Nykl. This will be done by Razim. I am also not aware that at the beginning of 1923 the Czech Ministry of Agriculture had pronounced a formal refusal to implement the land reform in relation to the Coburg-Khary property. I am unable to consider all the property movements in Coburg Kohary's residence since the death of the deceased. I cannot say whether such accounting will be possible at all with the huge scope of the possession. I also do not know anything about the seizures of the Cyrill creditors. On questioning that I was aware of an action by the German Foreign Office in December l938 by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Chvalkovsky on the matter of reparation Coburg-Kohary, I declare: One day the Minister a.D. Lieder called me and asked for information on the Coburg Kohary affair. I replied to him that I would send him the Ministerial Councillor Dr. Razim. When he came back, he told me telephonically that he gave a lecture to Minister Lieder on the matter, and that's all I've heard about it.
