Betr.: Sale of sugar against foreign exchange. Referral: Letter of Pa. Omnipol A.G. dated 10. Pebruar 1944. To the above letter I take the following position: Due to a meeting with me on 29 December 1943, Dr. Febrans contaminate, initially to sell 2,000 to 3,000 t each, given doT C against Bardevisen. For the proceeds to Swiss Francs, which were to be sold in Romania sewarz against Lei, was intended to cover oilseeds. In this meeting, although a quantity of 22.0% of sugar was mentioned, without the thought of me, that this quantity was exclusively Dr. On 4 January 1944, Dr. Febrans stated in a meeting with you that his negotiations in Switzerland to sell Zueker against Devis- ers had run out of results. Dr. Februaryns had then planned to sell 10.0% sugar in Sweden against Bardevisen - at a price of approx. Fr. 50,-- per 1oo kg.

I did not receive any further information on the state of business until February 10, 1944. On the basis of the statement by Dr. Febrans at the meeting on January 4th, 1944, I have the attorney-at-law Dr. Krüger and Citta, Chief Dir. of the Sugar Trade A.G. Prague, on the occasion of a trip to Switzerland, asked me to examine the possibilities of selling sugar against bar devising. I saw myself not least because the sugar trade A.G. has excellent international links and has already successfully carried out a similar business over Slovakia in previous years, which has resulted in a significant foreign exchange seizure in favour of the Protectorate.
