I am still on the point of view that it is inappropriate to award the title *engineer* to the graduates of Czech higher trade schools. This question has a special national political significance after the war and I believe that it is not necessary today to prejudge all the things that we will urgently need after the wars. I myself do not believe that today, by awarding the title, we will change too many Czech technicians in their political attitude and thus lead to a special increase in performance. On the contrary, I believe that the far greater number will probably be on the point of view: *These titles could have been retained by the Germans." The award in the present time would be considered more as a weakness as well as a special performance evaluation. I therefore propose that this matter be postponed until the end of the war.
