77 Excerpt from "The New Day" from July 1, 194o Take over office by the Commemorative Primator (own report) Prague, July 15. Monday morning the members of the government commission, the speakers and the senior officials of the city of Prague were placed in the large dining room by the primator=representative Prof. Pfißner to the newly named Kommissa- rian primator Dr. Rih a Bor. Primator representative Prof. Pfißner stressed that since their entry into the Old Town Hall, the Germans have always been engaged in an honest cooperation between Germans and Czechs, but that there should never be any doubt about one thing: that the Germans must first and foremost perceive the interests of the Reich. Long-termism on the German side should never be interpreted as a weakness. The change in the Primatorenamt could not mean an interruption for the further work on all essential questions. Especially for the next year, a wealth of great plans in preparation, for the realization of which all involved bodies will have to strive=. The new budget, which is currently under preparation, is based on these great duties=. Dr. R ih a took the floor to a brief inconsistency, in which he felt the civil service had to cooperate with the German people and urged them to always remember that the fates of the Czech Bolke must be a matter of course with that of the German People. It is precisely by this that they would be most likely to meet the intentions of the President Hácha hege. Names of the city officials and representatives then insured the board of the presidential chancellor, magistrate Dr. Krug. and central councillor Dr. Mr Zubatý the Primator and the primator deputy director dos serious efforts of the civil servants and the embassies to put all the forces at the disposal and thereby to create a cooperation possible.
