The main group of Slovaks is German-friendly and highly esteems the self-confidence of the Slovak state. It is often heard sayings that a closer look to the Reich would be very desirable under assurance of cultural and national development. The opposition group, especially Chechens and Old Slavs, frighten the population with the indication that Germany uses Blovakia only as a maneuvering field and that sooner or later it is left either to the Hungarians or to the Poles. The Czechs wish above all because they feel strongly reduced in their nationality towards the Slevaks, to the Slovaks the protectorate and paphezei dencelbe./ See leaflets smuggled from the Pro- tectorate into Slovakia./ The Slovaks are angry about the Poles, because they swallowed parts of Slovakia. In the event of a conflict with Poland, the Slovaks will pick up these parts. Some days ago, it was announced that Poland wants to make a tactical move, and that Slovsken wants to return the territories taken in October. It would be desirable to exchange opportunities between the Empire and Slovakia, namely students, merchants as lively as possible, since from the Slovak side there is a desire to get to know Deutsehlend, perhaps the SA or SS can send official fin-lades to the HG for the purpose of visiting the other side. The German-Slovak society is founded in Sillein and in most of the cities of Slovakia, the Sillein group publishes a bilingual time scale for all cities.
