English Translation

- 2 - 38 should come, then it is raised! A Czech is simply thrown out! Director Hořovský should just look at how the German engineers deal with the Czech officials in the Falkenau district! We also learn that Ing. Beck should become deputy director. This is supposed to be supposedly a concession for the Czechs! There is nothing more characteristic than that. Ing Beck is today "also a Czech", but he was never Czech. His children went to the German school, only German is spoken at home, the family only goes into German society, he has never represented the Czech cause in his life and is this perhaps a change? Do the gentlemen who sit on the board with the director Hořovský think that they will wipe our eyes out with this Mr. Beck? Isn't that a shame that the Königshof ironworks still support the German school in Potschapl? For the Czech school they don't have a cruiser, but what is such a sad phenomenon for the entire Beraun region is nourished by our large company? Don't the gentlemen on the board know that the German workers in Königshof are the most radical element, but that the most reliable element is the Czech workers who live in scattered huts in the surrounding communities? Hasn't that been shown in the last communist coup? The stubborn German nationalist, Ing. Haag, is extremely upset that someone dared to illuminate the German positions in Königshof! It is completely unnecessary, Mr. Haag. If they do not like it with us, they can opt for Germany according to the peace treaty. There they drive their longings, they are never connected with the Czech soil, the less they will be today. They will be happy and we will be, and if they should put out the horns, we will knock them so that they may remember that October 28, 1918, was a memorable day. We note once again that all managers of the company departments are Germans and can't even understand Czech invoices so much. Germans have resisted the fact that Czech assistants were assigned to them.
