8 OF THE NEW DAY RELATING R G S ER-R PRAGII, Mar 5, 1940. Herrengasse 12 La./W Fernruf 24141-48 Herr Oberregierungsrat Dr. Gies Prag IV. Czernin-Palais. Dear Party comrade Gies ! Referring to our interview from the l.ds. because of the new magazine "Böhmen und Mähren" I repeat my already expressed request to create for the New Day the possibility to continue his advertising with the leading industrial and commercial companies positively. In my opinion, this can only happen if your agent for this action receives a corresponding instruction on the individual economic groups, since the New Day, if the current mood is maintained against advertising, suffers such economic losses that any economic balance must be lost for us. The chief director of a major industrial company here yesterday told me personally that he no longer has any reason to advertise on the basis of the "free letter" of his business group in another paper than in the magazine "Böhmen und Mähren".
