English Translation

275 - 5 - under my oath at any time, that the private financial agent of Dr. Hodza, who has since told Dr. Madiertič that he has carried away high amounts from the proceeds of the so-called Hodze meadow area into the Privschatulle of Dr Hodz and still stirs away. This was 2 Honate before his death. He was ill with cancer, knew his illness and certainly didn't lie. I therefore come to the question of the presentation of the levy on the occasion of the preliminary negotiations of the Land Office with the Coburgers, in order to force them to sell en bloc. Ieh verveise in this context to the presentation presented herewith, referred to:"Dohoda of 24, March I928," point II and addendum. Inheritance fees have been an enormous blackmail on the Coburgers, a slippery fraud and the Razim, Novak and Vozenilek were, of course, known at that time that a fixing of the advance levy on more than loo Mill.Kc. always had to give way to a later reduction to the natural measure, but the Land Office could not see 35 Mill. Kc. In the process of expropriation, and the plundered Coburgers sit on the property tax of 85 million Ke. It has also become known to me that this pressure is being exerted. If I am told that the Coburgers have been explained here that they will never achieve such a reduction themselves, but the grounder, I explain: With this incomprehensible attitude they have also openly bragged themselves with seltonom cynicism in the ground office, especially Dr. Ra- zim. This utterance has or even to me gctan. Ieh can envy it every day. 2) Hodza pastures. This whole matter concerns above all the Ministry of Agriculture and the Minister Hodz. I am told that Dr Razim's statement of June 6th l939 will precede me.
