20 A bs ch r if t The Head of Staff. 1 July 1939. 112/V To the Lord Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia Pra Betr. Verlag "Der Neue Tag", Prague. I.Schr.Nr. St.S. 23/39 (The Secretary of State) v.20.6. l939 to Publishing Director Pg.Langhans. The request there to draw up a monthly audit report on the operation being conducted in a proper manner and in accordance with the principles of the rule of law cannot be met, as Mr Frank, Secretary of State, has occasionally already informed of a recent report, for purely technical reasons. The company is supervised by the "Cura" audit and trust company m.b.H. Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft zu Berlin and revised at all times. When the "New Day" was founded, provision was made for the operation to be carried out according to commercial law and to the basic principles of the National Socialist-in-special party-official newspaper publishers under the responsibility of Mr. Reichsleiter Amann. According to these principles, the heads of the publishing house have the duty to strive for the highest economic efficiency of the company, insofar as the performance of the press-political tasks of the newspaper permits. The application of the economy principle is the highest principle for the publishing management of the party press. The examination of the monthly balance sheet to be sent by a special department of the Berlin office of the "Cura" is carried out to check that the management is managed according to these principles. Every year on-the-spot checks supplement the monitoring. Daduwch is a sufficient guarantee created that monthly donations made by the Protectorate government are appropriately and purposefully related. I therefore ask to be satisfied with the fact that only when an examination by the "Cura" has been found on the spot, will the company report on the business development of the company. Heil Hitler !
