- 2 - a vigorous fight against all the unsustainable and damaging abuses in economic life, which have their origin in the shortage of food and supplies due to the war conditions or in the public liability for the damage. I now ask you, gentlemen, as the responsible ministers and heads of the main departments concerned: what has the Protectorate regulation done so far to put an end to the indefensible abuses? Have the individual measures you have always applied at the time of German pressure, for example for the complete capture of the rationated food stocks or for the suppression of the sliphandl, produced a tangible result?No! The sliphandling continues unabated. The unworthy conditions of buying and selling under the hand are more conducive than abneeds. The high punishments which I have given did not produce the expected success, because the punishment was immediately celebrated as a political martyr or the fine was often brought out of silent funds. Has the Protectorate government so far taken up all its authority and by word and by means of speeches, radio and press, informed the Tehechish people of the fact that the Pretekterat does not come up for the occupation of the population in the old age, send the old kingdom with strong contingents to the protectorate? Have you, gentlemen, done the Thrig to make it clear to the Czech people time and again that leach dealers, sliders and saboteurs, above all, damage the broad masses of their own people and that the regulations and guidelines of the Reich Protector on the constitution and regulated delivery of all kinds of rationed goods do not benefit the rich, but above all the Czech nation? Have you, gentlemen, with the appropriate emphasis the responsible and competent officials of your resserts, your 92 district heads, the thousands of mayors and municipal leaders gathered around them the heads of Czech cooperatives and the privileged Czech grain society, taught them about the seriousness of the situation and all these representatives of their state organizations - possibly. in the event of a threat of the most serious consequences - personally responsible and liable, or even from the point of view of an example? Have you, gentlemen, and have the protectorate government worked against the delusional Czech whisper propaganda and so far only once clearly and unambiguously demonstrated its position against the ewigon : lu- sionists of yesterday and branded these troublemakers as the heaviest pests in your own community? - 3 -
