116 f-Ogruf. 15 September 1943. St.N.38/43. To Mr. Reichaminister and head of the Reiohskanzlei Dr.Lammera, Feldquartier. Very venerable Mr. Imperial Minister ! In dom Fornechreiben of 24.6, d. Js. - Mr. 5337, concerning the concentration of the war economy, I had stated that the delimitation of the responsibilities of the Reichsuiniat radio and spear could not limit the expansion of their competence to the detriment of its infassifying competence in protectorate. It was only precautionary that such an enlargement would be seen by the Czech population as a weakening of autonomy and political disadvantages to the pol icy, to ask for a reservation in favour of my independence. The text of the Pührer's decree on the concentration of the war economy of the 2.9.d.Js. (RGBl. I, p.529), take it now that not only my motivation has not found any consideration, but on the contrary the responsibility of the Reichsminister for Armament and War Production in the field of raw materials and production in industry and crafts is expressly laid down also in the Protectorate (§ 6 sentence 2).
