82tb Ministerial Councillor Dr. Heckel Prague, July 3rd 1942. 20 Mr. Chief Government Councillor G i e s , at H a u s e. I would like to give you a note which I have sent to and returned from Dr. Fuchs, Ministerial Conductor, asking for your opinion. As far as Mr. Dr. Fuchs is concerned, I note that the exchange of buildings in Pilsen has already been carried out, since, in the interests of promoting German schooling, I have ignored the formal inhibition of a Czech school being placed in a land belonging to the Cultural Association, I would leave the matter on my own and not bother you if Mr. Rotermund had not told me before his holiday that he had already spoken to you about the problem of regulating the ownership of the German private schools and that you had joined his opinion. Do you think it is appropriate and do you see a way of bringing the question back to the Secretary of State? It is only a matter of transferring the school buildings to public ownership, while the other assets of the private school associations, for example, are of course to remain the property of the cultural association. The Cultural Association itself places great value on the school buildings, which are usually very heavily burdened,' and, in a number of cases, the German schools have in the meantime received better buildings in exchange for other schools. brgang!
