-2 - 39 German peasants, whose sons are now all in the field, of all the empire they longed for for decades, are to be disadvantaged. I also believe that chief forestry master Weber does not have a very reassuring effect on these farmers with his whole kind and by the tone. The reasons given in Mr. v.Zenetti's statement against the granting of hunting rights to the German farmers are in no way valid. The representation hunting area results in a distance of about 25-30.ooo pieces of low-wild game per year. The route, which is killed by the German peasants, is certainly in no proportion to this very extensive route, and the German farmers explain that they allow the Reichsprotector and his guests to hunt on their hunting grounds at any time, M.E. There is also the possibility of including the hunting area leased by the German farmers in an appropriate way in the measures taken by the representative hunting area. With regard to the admission that not Czech officials, but the Reicheprotector and his guests are hunting there, it is to be said that this is probably only partly true. The shooting, which is not carried out by the Reichsprotektor and its guests, must then be carried out in these hunting areas by the technical officials, which can then be quite considerable. It does not matter how many hunting licence holders are present in the Geneinde Branowits, but rather it depends on the fact that these hunting licence owners are Germans and therefore deserve a special preference in this direction. The fact that these owners of the hunting licence are guided only by the "thought of the meat" probably does not apply because they are farmers and because of their self-sufficiency quota they are in no way dependent on the hunting track with regard to their meat.
