STATE SECRETARY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 1958, sig. 109-6/50
English Translation
0f - 2 - Here it should be specifically pointed out that the difference between the economic conditions of the Protectorate and those of the Empire for the time being is that Bohemia and Moravia are a typical export area. The level of national income, the level of employment and thus social peace depend here on exports, to a much greater extent than in Germany. Export is also indispensable for us to obtain the necessary foreign resources, which are needed to start up the absolutely indispensable raw materials: cotton, wool, fats, ores, etc. However, the possibility of exports and, in particular, the competitiveness of the local products on the export market is now open.
