-3- 23 and the agents of world democracy hiss in their underworld in powerful rage and hatred of it, because it is aware that the Great German Reich will never allow the settlement area of the Czech people to be used as a planned threat to German life rights or to enforce power-political intentions of certain imperialist democratic great powers. The safest way that leads to our common future is to find the best and most fruitful form of friendly coexistence between the two nations. The Cegchichte of the Sudeten Germans is a teaching for both the Germans and for us that one cannot solve a national problem by force and means for us the guarantee that no German thinks of any totalitarian world and contains itself every cynical attack against the Czech people. The fate of the Czech people in its rise and decline was always closely linked to the fate of Germany's people and empire. The experiences of the last twenty years are a historic proof that our resistance to the German Reich and the people is based on a fundamental error and always turns out to be in favour of the people of Czech Republic. If we consider our centuries-old, unbroken, strong and natural economic and cultural relations in a reasonable way, everyone must realize that it is in the interest of the Tsohechian people to put themselves in a friendship relationship with the German people. It is precisely the collapse of the former Czech state that has clearly demonstrated that all such far-reaching connections and pects about mutual assistance, as well as economic and political treaties, are not sufficient if one overlooks the fateful, natural laws and political and economic relations arising from history. The regime of democracy, which ruled in our former state, has never granted the Czech people the freedom of political action, which would have enabled them to struggle for fair and fruitful relations with the most powerful neighbour, the Great German Empire.
