Büuo the Siaatsfekretär ben Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia. Eing.: 2 5. SEP.1941 Dear party comrade Gies ! Tgb. I have received the Act concerning the appointment of Mr. Franz Sc h m e l z e r into an economic position of the Protectorate.There is no need for assurance that everything will happen on my part in order to take account of the wishes of the Secretary of State as quickly and satisfactorily as possible. However,I ask you to bear in mind that it is not always possible to be influential and In view of Mr. Schmelzer's curriculum vitae, I believe that he would be most useful in the economic group of the Sydicate, and, if necessary, in the coal industry, odeyaber could be accommodated in a larger mining operation.I therefore immediately contacted Mr. Gen.-Dir.Göld to discuss this question with him in common. Mr Schmelzer. — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by thanking the President-in-Office of the Council for his excellent report. I will inform you immediately after my debate with Mr Gen. Director Gold about everything that has been done. Heil Hitler! 2n. 0.r 55. 10. r944 be: decee blepichoes.
