11 fituif 20. June 1939. St.S. 24/39. 1.) To Mr. Reichsminister Pg. G o e b b e l s , Berlina ReichsMinistry for People's Enlightenment and Propaganda. Dear Mr. Goebbels ! In the matter of the acquisition of the "Mercy- Druckerei" and the founding of the New Day, Mr. State Secretary Frank of the head of staff of the Reichsleiter for the press of the NSDAP under the 6.6.1939 - Abt. 1l3/g receive the message that your ministry cannot provide the originally envisaged grant. I may repeat in this context that the acquisition of the Mercy printing plant and the founding of the New Day Nut took place on condition that the required grant would be provided by your ministry. Unfortunately, there is no other way to get the grant, since I have no budget or other resources available for the purpose in question. I would therefore ask you, if your budget is not sufficient at the moment, to contact the Minister of Finance and make the grant available in the form of an advance. I would be grateful if the fishery could soon be completed, as otherwise complications could arise which call into question the further appearance of the New Day. With kind greetings and salvation Hitler ! Her M.Riler 9,21/6. 2.) Wvl. on 1.7.1939.with Her Lroe. a0 10.8.1919 0 V
