Liaison office of the Reichsprotektor Mr. State Secretary 2 0. SEP 1941 to the trade unions K. H.Frank in Bohemia and Mähren. Prague IV 5/0 Czerninpalais. Subject: Government representation on the organization of relations in the trade union organizations of the workers. Note 0 The President of the Council of Ministers has submitted to Mr Reichs- protektor the draft government decree concerning the regulation of the conditions in the trade union organizations of the workers for approval, which, as far as I know, has already been drawn up by the relevant departments and groups and now requires your approval. In my view, the adoption of this government regulation is by no means a policy, but it is nothing more than a standard for regulating the chaotic conditions within trade unions that have occurred since l939, which certainly cannot be in the German interest either, since they are constantly a source of unrest and could have an adverse effect on the Czech workers. On the characterization of the present conditions within the trade union organizations, I should like to point out that today the old trade union officials, who have been deposed for a year and partly established by the German security authorities on the basis of the existing statutes, still have all the decisive executive powers - St.S.\B-65/41
