English Translation

I would like to thank the Commissioner for his excellent report, and I would also like to congratulate him on his excellent work on this subject. In conclusion, if I repeat the wish that the Deutsche Sparkassen- und Giroverband, in particular, may continue to accept as much as possible in the future with the advice and action of the Sparkasen and Giroorganisation in the Protectorate, this idea finds a lasting justification in the words, the mini- mini- ral conductor Dr. Bertsch occasionally spoke of the Savings Bank Day in May 194l, which will remain valid today and in the future: "I know that how much new now is being created in the protectorate in the field of the money economy, goes beyond inlaid ideas and forms, and in my daily work I often have to experience difficulties, which obviously have their reason in reminiscences, in old-fashioned prejudices or in partiality against the requirements of the moment. From such a basic attitude free and unreserved and positive cooperation, even if it is about the acquisition of new land, I would like to see in future without exception all those men who are leading the business of the Protectorate. I also the savings banks of the Protectorate will continue to play their part in the recovery of the German economy, which will keep pace with achievements of the rest of the Reich and the scientific findings.
