Braunes Haus Stabsleifer I11 D 16 c - E1- & fanpel 332074/727 To the Staltesecretary SS.-Grupänfthrer Pg. Karl Hermann Frank, Prague IV, Burg, Nordflügel, $ Subject: Grants of the protectorate government to the churches. Referring to your discussions with my substantive work, Pg. Ministerial Councillor Krüger, on 8 April 1994 in Prague, I would ask you to consider reducing the voluntary subsidies granted to the churches in the Protectorate in connection with the attempt to compensate for the budget of the protectorate government by cutting expenditure. In the budget of the protectorate government for the year 1940 52.2 million K and in the budget for 1941 63.9 million K were thrown out for state subsidies to the churches. From the nature of the grants in detail I assume that a certain part is not based on legal obligation, but is a voluntary achievement. Even if the proportion of these voluntary grants were not to be very high, I would consider it essential to influence the protectorate government in the sense that these grants were to be granted. ./. π0-4/4i
