English Translation
6.Blat to the report of the work of the Deputy Primator for the period from 1/12.194l to 3l/1.1942. THE PRIMATOR-STELL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MAIN CITY PRAG. does not mean very little for the Czechs the final closure of the Weinberger Theater. As I can see from certain statements of the Primator, one hopes now for the help of Minister Moravec. We Germans, however, have no reason to depart from the view that the Czechs in Prague have a sufficient number of theatres and that the Weinberger Theater is therefore not an absolute necessity for them. By closing this theatre, the city saves a considerable amount of subsidy. In the course of the beginning cleansing action against the Czech Freemasons, the retirement of the director of the Czech City Library, Dr.Thon, was pronounced for March 1st, because he belonged to the High Level Freemason after the booklet of Jacobi. In order to invigorate the German cultural work, which has drawn very narrow boundaries from various sides, an edition program was agreed with the Volk- und Reichverlag, whose realization would make the German sides appear in clear light in the Prague past and present. As a small fruit of similar endeavours, the booklet "The City at the Stream", which collects confessions from German poets about Prague, is to be considered. In conclusion, it should be noted that we tried to get back into possession of one of the seven keys to the coronation chapel, which had so far been in the custody of the city.Unfortunately, these efforts, which are not irrelevant to the rank and value of the town, have remained unborn.
