35 copy Administrative Office of the Reichsleiter Berlin W 9, September 16, 1939. fir die Presse der NSDAP Potsdamer Strasse 28 Telesprecher 22 27 41 Circular to the Gauverlagleiter. Hereinafter, I will inform you of the text of a circular sent by Reichsleiter Amann to all the Gauleiter on 15.9.1939: "The press, and thus the party press in an eratic line, is facing an exceptionally difficult economic situation. It takes the greatest sacrifices to be able to guarantee their existence and performance. Their revenues, in particular in ad and commercial sales, have, as no other possible, dropped significantly within a week. I therefore ask you, by order to all the departments in the Gau, i.e. also to the associations affiliated to the Gau- tion, to make sure that from now on any pressure on printing is to be given to the Perteiverlagspresserei." From a Gauverlag the news is just received that in the preparations for the emergency printing works to be taken into account other than only or first line have been ensured, such disposi- tions have been overtaken by the present instruction of the General-Complete for the economy, which came out a few days ago. It must be achieved under all circumstances, that this regulation is carried out and that the Gauleführer ensure that first and foremost the printing works of the Party publishers are taken into account.
