English Translation

25 - 12 - I immediately sent it to the Dr, Razim for examination. He and Dr. Dirlam worked out a reply-exposé, in which the claims of the Coburgers were rejected. It was not possible to respond to the extensive application of 19th x II. 1938 / 5 volumes/, because I and Razim have never been made available. I hear today a large part of the allegations for the first time. On reservation, I must explain that in the seriousness of the allegations, their apparent nouns in five thick volumes, it seems to me absolutely incomprehensible, half of which has not been made available to me for many months on the part of the then measured Czech government side, especially since an exact investigation should have been promised to Mr. Reichsaussenminister Ribbentrop. On condition that I have been sitting in the relevant abbey of the Land Office for confiscation since l9l9 and declare today on questions that I am not at all able to give any information on the appropriateness or inappropriateness of the land office's purchase prices in the last twenty years, especially in Slovakia, I declare that such a consideration in value was not in my opinion at all. I did not take care whether the 320 000 mornings of the Co-burgers were in good or in bad shape, whether they were worth much or not, the prices were set by engineers employed by the Land Office. I also did not care whether these prices were below the common value. On questioning whether it was not my task in my purely legal activity to examine to what extent S c e c caae peace treaties, the Paris agreements etc. should be more harmed if they were to be expropriated at all, as own nationals, I declare: I was not responsible for this either. This unit had dor ministerial councillor Dr. Vondruska in the ground office. He's in retirement.
