On the 26th of March the Minister of State held the final discussion on the situation at Klöckner's works in Gurein, provided for in the last meeting of the Central Economic Staff. In addition to the undersigned W-Stan=executive leader Dr.Weinmann, Major General Dipl.Jng.Hernekamp, President Ristungsobmann Dr.Adolf and ORR Stucke took part. The Minister of State reported on the current state of social relations in Gurein by Dr. Weinmann and by the undersigned, as well as on the conversation between the under-signed and Director Messerschmidt. According to the agreed view of the present, the greatest difficulties have been overcome in Gurein, still unsatisfactory are the er= nutritional situation and the question of wohmungsfrage, the latter especially for the members of the workers assigned by Hamburg to Gureine. The Minister of State decided that the work should be replaced by the 3 wagons of potatoes, which were issued prematurely Director Messerschmidt should be aware of the necessity for his improper action, with which the matter should be regarded as being dismissed. Corresponding communication to the department=leiter VI on the occasion of the further signing has been given by the sign= neten on 26.ds.Mts. On the question of acceptance it was noted that the Lord Mayor's Office=ster Judex apparently could not enforce itself. The Minister of State therefore intends to authorize the Minister's Councillor Dr.Fischer, in consultation with the Municipality of Brno, to clarify this question as quickly as possible. No consideration shall be given to the atmospheric effect of further seizures on the Czechs.
