- 12 1 Thus, in the area of Pilsen, Hruby's remarks that it was necessary to prepare for the war to continue and therefore to draw the appropriate conclusions in all economic sectors, were given particular attention. The same was the case with references to the difficulties in the supply of fat. The opinion was expressed that certain quantities of agricultural products would be exported to the Reich. Hruby's negative remarks were not believed. Due to the hruby speech, rations were generally expected by the Czech population and they called on each other to hamster, as long as there were still possibilities to do so. (Pilsen) An armaments worker took the propaganda action as follows: "I see the time coming when the conditions in the food sector will be like in the previous world war. The peasants and great masters will have enough to eat and we, i.e. the working class, will have the afterthought. There will again be phenomena such as the last war, which will include, above all, the under-nutrition of the children of the poorer classes of the people. Only those who have the necessary capital will have enough to eat. We have already been taken away from the additional cards, which means the beginning of the end." dosn bau The assessment of the success of the fropaganda action by decisive functionaries of the association is not monotonous according to the present voices. :It however outweighs a criticism of the organization and program design. otod nolets Thus, secretary T u P J, a close co-worker of the minister, said that there was no point in continuing to maintain unfulfilled demands, as this could result in the farmer losing confidence in leadership and only respond with passiveness. He believed that the lectures against Bolshevism had had a negative effect on the food battle next to the lectures, and that it would have been more moderate to treat the two questions separately, since the question of delivery only lost value. (Prague) A German foreign office director explained that the whole action was a blow to the water, which is certainly also known by Minister si Hruby. But Hrubie was such a grated fellow, who wanted to show the US only to the minister of state that he was doing everything, and to support the food situation in the protectorate. In reality, Hruby laughed into the fist and was convinced that his farmers already knew what they had to think of UE of an action. To him, the whole NC meeting action seemed transparent from the outset, and he therefore preferred not to participate in the meeting in Prague. His Czech representatives, whom he had sent, had, as he had expected, returned from this meeting with great dissatisfaction. (Pilsen) 64765 S
