No.171Stock 24x Abbot L Dt.10.14 Process: Reports f.pol.wage -2- is created.The recognition of Dr. Eduard Benesch as President of the Czechoslovak Republic and Supreme Commander of the Czechoslovakian Army abroad, as well as the recognition of the Chechoslovak government with Monsignor Dr. Šramek as Prime Minister by the English government in London has raised new hopes for the restoration of the Czechoslovak Republic and the defeat of the Empire in Czech intelligence and certain Czech people's posts. Also the Czech government in Prague did not remain unimpressed by this report. Dr. Eduard Benesch's speech on the occasion of the government recognition on the London radio received a special echo in the whispering propaganda in which the Czech officials and employees escaped the forced oath on Hácha and the leader and prophesied his nation's soon-to-be freedom. According to a statement by the Minister of the Interior Ježek to Secretary of State Frank, the education and recognition of the Czechoslovak government by London is particularly welcome by the Czech intelligence, because they will now sit at the negotiating table at a possible peace conference and will play a decisive role in determining the future fate of Czechs. In recent times, the Czechoslovak members of the government have made striking use of every opportunity to underline their firm trust in the word of the leader in government declarations, speeches (radio and press), telegrams and in individual talks, alongside the emphasis on loyalty to leaders and empires, that they are guaranteed full autonomy and a happy future within the framework of the empire. In conclusion, it should be noted that the efforts of various party offices (guidances) and individual Reich authorities to promote the division of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia are gaining in intensity.
