Sfutraf Wof. copy. 48 ftiS! number 313/42 m.k./M. Prague, ah 31.lärz 1942. Mr. President, in conversation with you I allowed myself to repeat the new situation which is in the education of the d d t d, to point out. I believe that it is my task, as head of the People's Enlightenment Office, to set up all the bodies concerned with this Enlightening, regardless of whether these bodies have a political or cultural face to this day. I therefore try to get all societies under control with cultural tasks so that I can direct their work according to the intentions of the government, as I have already mentioned in my statement of the l9.Jänner. There are, however, institutions whose educational equalization evades me because you have reserved the right to lead yourself. These days, I learned from the press that you have appointed a number of new members in the leadership of the Association for Cooperation with Germanism, whose renaming to the Institute for the Study of German Culture on the way to my office.I therefore ask you, Mr. President, to make a fundamental decision on this issue in the future, how far I have a right in my capacity as Head of the Office for People's Enlightenment to intervene in the interests of the nation's education where I have no direct influence at present.
