21 2. Bulletin to the letter of 31 August l939 New Day The Councillor of Government G i e 5 , to prevent Prague from ordering supplies of printing materials,that telephone charges affect the month of July and that the telephone is being blocked,that salaries and wages must be brought to payment on the day of today and that other items also affect the past time. I would like to point out that in a proposal submitted at the time by Pg.Frank, a monthly rate of Rl 25,000 was recorded and Pg 25,000. State Secretary Frank informed me under 20.vI that the Reichsprotector had agreed to meet my desire to cover this deficient.In contrast to my proposal, I have succeeded in deactivating the period from 1 April to 31 July to an amount of RM 44,000. After the negotiations, which I would have to conduct during your absence with Baron von Gregory, I was given the explicit commitment to the deficit of Rm 44.o00 which had been accumulated by the end of July. - and for the months of August and September each RM l5.0o0.- are guaranteed available. İch has already mentioned that I was able to cover the previous losses exclusively by bank loans and that the bank obligations are due to the lack of appropriate funds to purchase the company at RM 450.Ö00. The burden of interest generated by such capital must be all the more burdensome for the operation and make economic recovery impossible in the first place. I therefore urge you once again to enforce with the Reich Protector that the remaining amount will be immediately reliant on the RM 59,000, namely RM 34.000, for payment.The difference on the most urgent payments of RM 23.Ö00.- I hope to liquidate by other means. I would be very grateful if you would give me a favourable Besgheid over the course of this afternoon. Jym AeilHitler!
