Z1 6.Blat to the report of the primator deputy for the period from 1/10th to 30th/ll.194l. THE PRIMATOR-STELLVERTRETER OF THE MAIN STATE PRAG. the situation of the Prague German population revolves around a one-timeness in the Great German Reich, therefore it would not only be justified, but almost necessary to intervene with one-off means. I see the only way out of this is that Germans are additionally better supplied via German shops. By introducing the customer list, Germans could be supplied with all the scarce consumer goods that otherwise only benefit the Czechs. In the area of municipal finance, a number of operations have come to a certain conclusion, both aimed at reducing the city's debt burden and at reducing existing interest rates on bonds of various kinds. Thus, according to the preliminary plan of the City Chamberlain, it will be possible to obtain 250 million kroner of debt for depreciation and, by detour, to redeem a series of higher interest-bearing bonds by means of a conversion loan of 1 billion kronor to 4%. The negotiations on the issue of this bond were concluded with all the parties involved, so that the announcement of the tender for the bond could now be made. Finally, two comments about the Czech stock. On 6 November at 4 p.m., the Czech members of the Administrative Commission met with the Primator for a rally of confidence in the large meeting room of the City Hall in connection with the loyalty demonstrations of Czech authorities for the Reich, which had apparently been initiated from above. Since I was asked to give my opinion on this intention, I said that this beginning was quite laudable, but that it was necessary to avoid the impression that the Czech members of the Administrative Commission were an independent body which would be entitled to hold fixed meetings under the chairmanship of the Primator. The whole process was designed in such a way that the Czech members of the Administrative Commission were asked each and every one of them at a meeting to sign their consent to a prepared trust.
