English Translation

13a M.E. is the Prager A.G. for the paper industry best suited for the Aryanization. The Prager Aktiengesellschaft für Papierindustrie has already acquired the Rot-Retschitzer Maschinenpapierfabrik. The paper factory "Eisenmühl" is a foundation of this Rot- Retschitzer Papierfabrik and complements in its products the Rot Retschitzer Werk. Both factories can be regarded as an economic unit. The paper mill "Eisenmühl" can be built into the former production organism of the A.G. very well both in terms of operation and transport, so that the binding to the AG. guarantees the best and the expansion of the paper mill 'Eisensmühl'. The A. G. has the necessary capital. It can pay the purchase price including taxes in cash and also make necessary and extensive investments, the achievement of a greater net profit is therefore in the foreground. The A.G., as I was insured, works mainly with German capital. The entire business management is in German hands. The professional management is also perfectly secure. Applicants who do not have the appropriate equity must be careful to achieve a high profit, because they must in any case get out their expenses in order not to endanger the continuation of the operation. For larger investments there is usually no money available for indefinite time. In addition, their crisis-proofness often leaves much to be desired. For A.G. it is always possible, if the production of paper should no longer be worthwhile, to switch to the generation of cellulose for further processing at the Rot-Retschitzer Papierfabrik. The natural obligation to take account of the first and foremost strugglers in the Aryanizations can also be served here, in the absence of suitable applicants, by the fact that the acquirer assumes the obligation to install front fighters in suitable positions in the company. From the point of view of the future, the Aryanization of the paper mill "Eisenmühl" by the Prague A.G. should be the most obvious. I therefore ask for your consent that I can carry out the aryanization nit of the A. G. MAITRA signature eh. 2 f0oo mmhlan 90,000?
