Fa don fu Tal 102 The Head of Division II Prague, 23 April 1940. Goin ! BedGe t.u.d Mr 42715.40. With reference to my speech yesterday, I ask that the question of the economic performance of the Protectorate to the Reich be given the following: I. Unfeng of the unilateral performance of protectorate. From its establishment to the present day, the Protectorate has inherited services (war equipment supplies, maintenance of troops in the protectorate, etc.) worth 500 Hillion Rl, for which it has not received a consideration in goods. From 1 January to 31 March alone 210 million RM are accounted for. At present, the protectorate in the Monet transfers on average goods worth 7o million Rl to the Reich, without receiving from it a loss of money. The Schvere of the Lest, which is imposed on the protectorate's economic activity by this unilateral gift of goods, is likely to justify the assertion that to a large extent it has succeeded in putting the economic power of the protectorates at the service of the German war economy. In addition to the problem of raw materials, which I am constantly allowing myself to speak about, a financing and a foreign exchange problem have been raised. II. The financing problem. The unilateral achievements of the Protectorate to the Reich must be financed, i.e. The funds required to pay for the goods delivered to the rich to the suppliers in the Protectorate must be provided within the same domestic economic territory of the Protectorates.
