hV 3 was able to be overcome by all interested parties and that at the d d d dr I was pleased in this context that in the foreseeable future there will be the possibility to merge this newspaper with the previous "German Messenger" in Klattau. This measure is quite in the political line I represent in the area of Bohemia and Moravia and is suitable to promote in a special way the tasks of the people's policy in the West Bohemian region. With regard to these tasks, I would ask you not to give the magazine to be published in Pilsen the character of a pronounced local Pilsen newspaper, because then the advantages of combining them with the "German Botèn" would to some extent be removed. With the strong competition of the West Bohemian cities among themselves, if it is determined by its name alone as a Pilsen leaf, the newspaper would never have the hoped-for effect on the Germandom of the broad country in West Bohemia and the Germanism of the other West Bohemians cities that it would have to have. I would therefore urge you to agree with my proposal that this newspaper should be called "West Bohemian Newspaper", since it should actually have its main distribution area in the West Bohemian region. As the newspaper is due to be published on 1 November, the matter is urgent and I therefore ask you to reply as quickly as possible. He1/Liltie lo 13-10.42.
