English Translation

Ho 7 shows that the resulting relations still exist many times even in the state of war, and that the manufacturers still bring in highly coveted raw materials,where the old Reich no longer succeeds in maintaining them.A notable case:I was told before a few days ago by the responsible directors of the Reichsdeutsche Übersichtsstellen that it is now impossible to import rubber and cotton.A few days on, I was presented by Bata with the purchase confirmations of loo bale cotton and 7o tons of rubber. Such cases are even no - or semi-goods-related from Belgium, iz and finally the further superiorities from Russia. I believe that these import possibilities must be reduced from 2o8 million crowns to 263 million kroner.
