English Translation

It is good that brigade leader Frank is back again. The price freeze is finally published. I do not believe, however, that it is enough to keep in the prices. Without igene deutscht Ausstellen it will probably only remain a slight brake. Mr von Neurath, who also discussed this matter with me, is of the same opinion, and a few days ago, I banned the formation of the Czech working group, namely the Czech A.F., from the Minister Klum par, as well as from dealing with the national community with questions of wage policy. The reasoning was not quite simple I have stated that the state-led steering of pay policy must be so tight because of the earlier confusion that a strong block, as the t working group would represent it, must be unsolicited in its own interest as a social minister. The negotiations were made more difficult by the fact that from one side of the Reichsprotektor various Czech groups were given full powers on the creation of a Czech AF. I am about to clarify this. I also worry about the appearance of the DAF. before old people in Moravia and the parts of the Protectorate belonging to the Gauleiter Wächtler. They try to set wages, e.g. in companies themselves, to employ business observatories and trust-men who have lacked the powers to which the DAF has been fighting in vain since 33. In Moravia - Ostrava, the DAF calls on every Chenhenh as a member, "who is ready to send his children to a German sSehule. Mr. Under-State Secretary has instructed me to negotiate with the Daf on the basis of the clear decree of the deputy of the Führer. I have already come to terms with the local Kreisobmann Pavellek. In the next week I want to speak with Gauobmann Birke in Reichenberg. My personal opinion is that the condition that dxxx 4 Gaue in the Protectorate, with 4 different opinions, is untenable in the long run. M.E. In the case of the whole of the Party, an authorised representative should be appointed to the Reichsprotektor, which ensures a uniform orientation in accordance with the separate living conditions of the Protectorate.
