English Translation
94a MEEMOUESE A vision of the financial crisis of the Church TACTIAME! will at the same time contribute to a certain increase in its resistance to Germanism in its front position. The fact that the budget of the Protectorate is not balanced offers an appropriate link to the government of the protectorate in order to influence in the sense of a reduction of the church's state subsidies. The deficit in the budget is still offset by the requirement of the military contribution from the empire, which is not to be raised by a bond. In connection with the intention of the Reichsprotektor's office to impose a reduction in expenditure on the government of the Protocol, I would ask that the churches be included among the most diverse items of expenditure, which would be able to do so by means of voluntary grants. Even if, as far as church subsidies are concerned, this does not amount to a large amount, it would be worth the effort, because of its fundamental importance. I would be grateful if you would send me your opinion on the matter. The office of liaison has received a copy of this letter for information. HeilHither! 37438 (., Bormann) Frlo
