As I am informed, the Landesbank für Böhmen issued a circular to the department boards under the 2ndVII.42 for the purpose of dissemination in the individual departments of the bank the following content: "As can be seen from Czech press news, the 'Aryan greeting - the greeting of a better order and a fairer future - has already been introduced in many enterprises.It is therefore also the Czech follow-up of the Landes Bank for Bohemia to serve within the enterprise exclusively of the Aryan greeting." Since I am not yet aware whether the Lord State Secretary has issued an order for this purpose, I would be grateful if you would inform me whether such clarifications of enterprises are politically desirable. So far we have followed the line of not developing an initiative in this direction. H e il Hitler! /Dr. Adolf/ 141
