INR Comment Both Praca, the trade union newspaper in Slovakia and Lidova Demokracie, the newspaper of the People's Party, have been in the forefront of the Czech press ferment since February. The Soviet note is the first formal protest to the Czech government since the beginning of the reforms although both the Poles and East Germans had previously sent complaints to the Czechs. General Sejna has stated that he did not get Soviet help in obtaining a passport since as vice-Chairman of the National Assembly he had a diplomatic passport. The Soviet in some respects is not surprising since Lidova Demokracie in reprinting the Times article also mentioned Soviet personalities, including a general, who were allegedly involved in Sejna's obtaining a diplomatic passport.
