(…..) INTRODUCTIONS
a. The Skopians' activities for the autonomy of Macedonia may be efficiently confronted mainly by
wiping out the use of the idiom, in the regions near the borders. This opinion is based on the
realizations that also other regions that in older times were the center of "Macedonism", like
Kastoria, are not hit by the Skopian propaganda, because there the use of the idiom has been almost
wiped out.
b. This element by itself would be enough to exclude any thoughts of repatriation of the P/R
(political refugees) who now reside in Yugoslavia and who have been brought up with the
"Macedonian idea", the "Macedonian language and culture", independently of their participation or
not to the organizations SNOF, NOF and activities taken for detaching Greek territories, during the
period 1946-1949.
c. As for the above it is imperative to:
1. The creation of a state institution that will depend from the Prefectures of the regions near the
borders, lined with the suitable and specially trained to the "Plot against Macedonia" subject,
personnel. This institution will engage itself only with this subject, with the supervision of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will collaborate closely, but in secret, with the Security Authorities
and all the public services (Tax office, Schools, Army, Church, etc.).
2. In the public services and especially in the educational institutions the employees who will be in
service have to be ignorant of the local idiom.
3. The establishment of special enlightenment seminaries, for all the public service employees and
the clergy who are in service in the sensitive region of Macedonia.
4. The establishment of motivations for the obligatory residence of the public servants and other
employees, in the quarters of their service (example: payment of the rent, extra pay, etc.).
5. Establishment of Cultural Association, like "ARISTOTELIS" in Florina and economic help to
them, for the realization of events and the publishing of books, newspapers, magazines, etc. and
afterwards these will be sent to the Diaspora abroad who has origins from the regions of the
senders. This will boost their national sentiment and they will be protected from the anti-Hellenic
propaganda that is been practiced by S/M (Slavmacedonians) organizations.
6. Insertion of various obstacles (non-recognition of diplomas, postponement of military service,
etc.) for the Greek students who wish to study in Skopje.
7. Marking in each village of persons who, due to their kin bounds and their personality, influence a
large circle of co-villagers and with any means (even with money payments) get close to them and
use them properly so they will behave as the fighters of the use of the idiom in their circle. To this
direction a very positive and effective role can be that of the Youngers of the political parties, by the
judgment and coordination of the Government, when a between parties agreement will be reached.
8. Recruitment in the Armed Forces, in Police Bodies, in the public services and Organisms of
employees with origins from Florina region, by exception, and their obligatory location in other
areas of the Country.
9. The encouragement, by the leadership of the Army, of meetings and marriages of Army officers,
who are on duty there and have origins abroad, with women that speak the idiom. (…)
