English Translation
In contrast, the competing Czechs usually have enough capital to obtain on loan or without difficulty on favourable terms. The non-functioning of the Reichswirtschaftshilfe must lead to damage in the national German economy and in the ownership of the protectorate economy. 4.) Effects of the wage and price question. The development of the pay and price issue has the most unfavourable consequences for the living conditions of the German workers. It is often to be noted that as a result of the entry of the ČNS community of Czechs into the Czech enterprise, a wage increase in the form of a inflation allowance is received, while the German entrepreneur does not give this allowance in the same place. However, in many cases, the weak economic situation of many German enterprises is the cause. Example: A German enamel factory in Budweis pays the lowest wages in this branch in Budwies any married workers earn an average of 80 to 100 Kč per week; the entrepreneur obviously tries to do the most possible. In view of the high wages of the Czechs mediated after the Old Reich, the poor economic situation has all the more affected the people's interpretations. A typical incident took place in the law firm of the district management of the NSDAP in Brno: A people German appeared with his adult son and requested permission for his work to begin in the Old Kingdom. When he was rejected, he said that he fully agreed that the Germans had to stay here for political reasons. On the other hand, however, one had to understand their economic situation. He wanted to leave his son at the district office, because he could simply not feed him anymore and there was no work for him in the area there.
