JAN.1942 Dear Mr. Oberregierungsrat ! The book trade is a licensed trade in the protectorate. According to a statement by Mr. Rechtsanwalt Dr. N e u w i r t h it is up to the licensed trade to establish branches. Every second and further business in the book trade must therefore be managed as an independent company, be it G.m.b.H. or Open Trade Company. This legislation is a major obstacle to the establishment in the Protectorate of the various planned bookhandles. We should, in order to always remain in the same form of company, establish an independent G.m.b.H. everywhere, which would always have to contribute the minimum parent capital and for whose establishment the increased fees would have to be paid. In order to get around these difficulties, it would be useful if a special regulation of the company Andre would allow l. the concession given to the Prague business to be valid for all branches to be established in the Protectorate and that 2. the business units to be set up in the protectorate should be managed as the piling businesses of Andre G.m.b.H.
