-3 - 160 to put international travel to a standstill, the Cedok therefore has to struggle with considerable financial difficulties, but hopes that after the war international travel will again increase sharply and it will be able to compensate for its losses through increased revenues. After the war, however, the Reichsverkehrsministerium intends to have international travel services provided not only in Germany, but also in the neighbouring states centrally by the Central European travel agency in Berlin. It therefore attaches great importance to the fact that within the Great German Reich only gany Malar! is cared for by an official travel agency because of the future negotiations with the neighbouring countries. It therefore intends to purchase Cedok and, after the liquidation of Cedoc, to transfer the duties of an official travel agency in the Protectorate to the Central European travel agency. Negotiations on the purchase of the shares of CEDok with the Ministry of Transport of Prague will begin on 1 9/ll. by representatives of the Ministry for Transport of the Reich in Prague. On the part of the Prague Ministry of Transport, objections to the purchase are no longer to be expected; politically, the establishment of a German travel agency as the only official travel agency in the Protectorate is only desirable. 3. Cooperation between the General Operations of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the Protectorate Railways The General Operations Management of the German Reichs Railways have been given unconditional authority over the Reich Railway Directorates to carry out their operational tasks.
