English Translation

I had, among other things, a debate with Dr. Kölfen, a ministerial conductor, on the imminent formation, a "community of shoes", which is in essence equivalent to a Reichsvereinigung. "Ge- Gemeinschaft Schuhe" will be established in agreement with: the Reichsprotektor, and in principle also extend to the Protectorate. However, in particular with regard to the distribution of the shoes, such safeguards are installed that a disadvantage of the local roughness cannot occur due to the new formation, provided that the Reich's protector continues to appear conseqúently and explicitly in Berlin. Dr. Miesbach von Bata will come to the "presidium" of the "community shoes". This Bureau is a circle of leading economists in the footwear, rubber and clothing industry and the main organ of the "Community Shoes". 1S7 39458
