lMc2 139 E n t w u r a letter to Reichsleiter Baldur of S c h i r a c h . LuleB. w. I was very pleased to hear of your plans at the time to hold a joint meeting of South-East European society with the economic organisations of the Protectorate, and I would like to thank you very much for having said to my invitation and for agreeing that the meeting already agreed with you in the broad guidelines will take place in Prague on 17 and 18 December 194l. As the patron of the society you run, Reichsminister Walther Funk, has already promised his active participation for the above-mentioned days, this event is certainly a significant reverberation in the world public sphere, especially in hostile countries, which has dealt extensively with us in the last few weeks. The main issues to be dealt with by national political considerations were to be addressed by an elected German circle on 8 December at a meeting of the Council of the Czech Republic, which was to be held in two parts: a state-political act which would take place on the basis of a C T d do d d d e economic policy rally and in which the government of the Protectorate and leading Czech economists would also participate. the South-East European Company and the German Society of Economic Affairs. The attached programme sets out the draft, which has already been agreed with your gentlemen in the broad lines as mentioned above.I consider the details of this joint statement to be expedient to vote with you and your gentlemen exactly in Vienna.For this purpose, I have commissioned Dr.Adolf to carry out all further measures with you in the closest possible manner.
