English Translation

6w valk, the Czech relief agency "Czech Heart", - which from the time of the World War 1914-198 is known for its success in strengthening national resistance - interested bourgeois circles have noticed. After Chalupa had also called on the officials of his organization to lay down their posts in the NG, there was no lack of passivity on this side either, which was even stressed by the commissioner's NG leader, Dr Krejci, through a complaint to the Propaganda Ministry. In an effort to achieve public success and recognition, however, there is an unmistakable desire to create an umbrella organisation of all social-health organisations and organisations. This will not only lead to difficulties with Caritas, but also with youth care, social and health care and other state or semi-state measures. In this case, however, the precautionary control of the German-influenced autonomous sector of the two permanent ministries has been avoided. For the raising of funds, "social assistance" had originally set itself the goal of the loo-million limit. However, the amount of almost 9o million kroons can be seen as a not inconsiderable achievement compared to the previous collection of "national aid". The uninvolved donations from banks, pleasure companies and self-employed workers may even exceed the LOO million limit. Recently, Chalupa's contact with the president of the Baiken Central Association has also resulted in financial contributions from which Chalupha promises to be a prominent donation from the banks, which he calls several million crowns. - 3 - 2
