(b) their negotiations with Dresdner Bank would be unsuccessful, because the Dresden Bank refused to take over the branch en bloc, as requested by the Prague Kreditbank. 5): These negotiations, which were partly conducted by the popular German institutions in Bucharest with the Dresden Bank itself, partly by the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle and the Reichsressorts among themselves and with the banks, mean an absolutely unwarranted and for the reputation of the empire as well as for the national German banks and credit industry intolerable condition. Moreover, there is a danger that the Rumanian authorities will intervene in the exploitation and use of the bank building over a short or long period in the course of the Romanization and as well as in the war with the "Benesch-Czechs", so that the Reich, the Reich's German banks and the Volksdeutsche Kreditinstitue would have a look-out. 6). It is not possible to find a solution other than that the Prague credit bank will soon hand over its Buka- rester building and the purchase price regulation, which is to be carried out at the same time as the use of funds by the Reich in the interest of the financing of the war economy and the activation of the national economy, regardless of the balance between the banks. It is therefore necessary to ask for clarification and decision as soon as possible.
