Personally! Secret! 13 23 June 1939. The State Secretary. St.S.No. 29/39 XVIII/72/39/B1/Kg. To the Reichsstatthalter and Gauleiter Pg. Konrad H e n l e i n , Reichenberg, Gauleitung. abam 23.6.39K. Betr.: Gestaltung von Talken und Reden im Protectoratgebiet. Process: ohne. I urge that, in order to maintain a single political line, speeches and speeches that you intend to make in the Protectorate should be aligned with the political line that the Reichsprotektor intends to take against the protectorate government at the present time. I ask that this should not be regarded as a kind of mistrust or patronage, rather as an expression of the wish in the interests of the great German people that between the view of the party and the opinion of the state - i.e. the department of the Lord Reichsprotector - there should be clarity and consistency in the assessment of the political problems and in the political objective. I would therefore consider it expedient, among other things, if the texts of the speeches and speeches were first sent to me for information. If, within four days of the task of the proceedings, no answer was received at the post office, I would like to suggest that the formulation of the addresses and speeches should be considered as being free from the point of view of Mr Reichsprotektor. If a different regulation can be proposed in the matter, which leads to the same result as the above regulation, then I would be grateful for the transmission of the corresponding opinion.\rB 1 Heil Hitler!
