English Translation

6p - 5 - The proof of my claim is the numerous criminal proceedings. They show that large parts of the country's economy do not thank you for fulfilling your duties towards their own people, but prefer to withdraw their products from proper management in their own selfish profit-making efforts and to channel them to the trade. hh If responsible Czech authorities say in the future, the Reich will take care of the German population in the Protectorate itself and leave the supply of the Czech part of the population to the autonomous government in full responsibility. I would ask you to bear in mind the difficulty of this resemblance to you, as well as the consequences of a undoubtedly/then unequal supply of the population of this area, today with all seriousness. I would hardly believe that the Czechs would understand that the authorities of the autonomous Czech administration should not have been in a position to prevent the Czech people from taking such a serious measure by radically eliminating the dee tséheehise people's harmful elements or influences. The situation in the industrial sector is not significantly different from that in which it is presented. I am aware of a large number of cases in which company owners, for the sake of pure profit-seeking, ignore the rules adopted to protect the general public. I cannot accept here the objection that the necessary things have already been arranged and that there should be an improvement in the situation.
