English Translation

- 5 - the guarantee provided by the Länder of Bohemia and Moravia to the Girozentrale; in line with the aim of alignment with the form of the Community banks which became part of the German Reich; the creation of a Landesbank and Girozentar for Bohemia and Mähren; this would be the most comprehensive point of the solution to this question. It not only creates a single giro area for the entire protectorate area, but also a joint issuing institute for Pfandbrief and commercial bonds. At the same time, it also guarantees a central management of the monetary system in the area of public-law state money institutions. If you put aside all the special interests which always appear in the event of dissolution of the same permanent financial institutions, this Ferm must be preferred to the solution above all others. Aware of the plethora of preparatory work necessary to achieve this very objective, I believe that an early decision on this issue is necessary in order to achieve it on a medium-term date. I conclude my presentation with the request to invite me to an oral debate in order to have an opportunity to carry out further and more precisely the individual tasks associated with this or that solution. Heil Hitler ! Your obedient Prague, the 7th Jan 1942. m/ogy
