149 Excerpt from a letter from the main author V.Krychtalek /Večer/, NS Commissioner for Press and Propaganda v.9.lO.1940. "Otherwise, we are bad at this and the government is putting further obstacles in our way.We have informed the President Dr. Hácha that we will ask for a meeting with the Secretary of State.Because we have not yet been received, the government makes decisions that we are not going to speak with the State Secretary at all and Mr. Havelka tells that the State Minister asked the President of the State Dr.Hácha whether he has an interest in it so that we can receive. According to a negative answer from Dr. Hácha, the Secretary of State will supposedly not speak to us at all.I am not trying to speed up the matter by writing it to you.We know too well that Mr. Szaats' secretary is busy and that there may be reasons that make the conversation impossible now.We will wait patiently. I am writing it to show you how the government fears clarification."
