79 copy. The Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia Nr. Rpr.6o/41. From the chancellery of the President of the Republic I received the correspondence between the Chief Government Councillor Gies and the Head of Section Dr.von Popelka in the following copy. I note the following: The treatment of a record given to me personally by President Hácha in such a way that a referee of the national authority responds to it to a section head of the President's office by sending a newspaper sarticula, even if it is written by the Secretary of State, is inappropriate. I must also stress that matters which are brought directly to my attention by the President of the Republic are presented to me before their reply. I would ask you to proceed accordingly in the future. Prague, 18 January 1941. gez.v.N. St.S. 8urE U.St.
