If a single measure is carried out, essentially two aspects will be decisive: 19tiglaig3 19@ Does the implementation of the measures belong to the tasks which the NSDAP has to carry out by virtue of the position given to it by the leader, and does the N SDAP also have the necessary means for carrying out this particular task? The first point of view must be applied differently in the Protectorate than in the rest of the empire, as long as the two decrees of the deputy of the leader are in force. Much has already been said about .x these two decree. They stood at a time when the party was in the first construction and should have validity above all for the party's posts outside the Protectorate in order to eliminate disturbing interference in the administrative unity of the protectorate. But now the party is finished with its construction on a large scale, it has everywhere pointed out the responsible sovereigns and is now increasingly seen by the German population as what the nh NSDAP. is everywhere else in the empire of Adolf Hitler. This will become even more apparent in the future, the more party comrades Ti will come into the protectorate. It is understandable, therefore, and it should not really be a special order of the Reichsorganisations-Brührer and the Gauleiter, if I now turn to you, Secretary of State, to clarify the position of the party in the Protectorate by agreement and bindingly between us both. I am clearly entitled to legitimise here by letter of the Gau leiter for the Sudeten- gau. Of course, this clarification will have to be made, as everything has been done so far, between us both in agreement and based on mutual trust. nIn some individual examples, I want to show what the NSDAP, R tst and me are about. Te On the question of the ethnic German associations, during a discussion with the Under-State Secretary, I argued that the resolution was against. This point of view was also widely endorsed. Now, without further agreement, the question was decided differently, in the case of the NSDAP. With the establishment of the German Cultural Association for the Protectorate, the party is also obliged to lead the Y and monitor its activities. On the question of German theatre, there is no doubt that the NSDAP is being used to a large extent. In the implementation of cultural events of the most general kind Ts, the German state sector should at least not be excluded from the organisers. -rea This brings me at the same time to the second point of view. It must not happen that the party does not fulfil its duties, because it does not have the money to do so. Today this state is actually given. This also results in a certain dependence of the parties on the state authorities. I must ask you, Secretary of State, to try to eliminate this dependence and the Party in the resolution of 802 109-4-94.
