18 scientists, especially of the southeast, who are in contact with the University of Soil Culture from earlier times. 6.) Südostgemeinschaft deutscher Hochschulen. The working group of the South-East Community of the Vienna Hocschulen, which has been in existence for a long time, was established in July 194l with the approval of the Reichswissenschaftsministerium to form a South-Eastern Community of German Hochachulen. The office of this university community is reached in the Rahemn of the Southeast Europe Society. The Reichsminister für Wissenschaft, Erziehung und Volksbildung issued the order these days that a joint working session of all German scientific institutes and universities for East and South-East questions should be prepared in Vienna for mid-April 1942. This workshop will be dedicated to the planning and division of tasks for the preparation of the economic science foundations for the use of the German economy in the south-east in a consistent cooperation of the entire German science. In addition, the Germanists will meet in Vienna to discuss the relevant plans and problems. A special session of legal science will deal with the legal problems of the South-East. While the Leipzig University was assigned the task of reimbursing proposals for fluctuation in the field of periodicals in Vienna, and then proposals for the training of the scientific community for East and South-East work, the Prague German universities will report on the existing materials at libraries and archives. It is to be hoped that this spring conference in Vienna in 19942 will successfully and practically shape the use of science for the great future tasks of the empire in the reorganization of Europe in the east and south-east of our continent. -L -
