332 - 3 - the handing over of another 40.ooo Kat. Joch forest for grazing purposes. The discreet negotiations continued until early in the year I927, and the demands became ever stronger. All the requests were finally for this so-called "Hodza Plan". There was an exciting debate between Dr.Stefan Steiner and the then General Director Ing. Nykl, in which Dr. Stei- ner explained: "We are in the whole 13 as representatives of the princes for the Hodza plan, and you are the only one who is against it. Either you too will keep up and you will be fine, or you are still against it and will fly" (diary). Td T T Ta grew: from the cloistered Hodzeplan 40.oo0 Kat.Joch became the big project, Coburg must disappear at all. They still installed the administrative and compulsory administration, corrected the billancy figures, set off the values of the stocks etc., pulled on the tax screw (the prescribing of the taxes and fees was adjusted after the transfer from approx.l02,00.000 Kc. to 25,000.00o Ke.) and so on. All this was pre-empted, the last pressure screw was put on February-March, and with the restless expropriation without cash and finally blackmailed the Dohoda of 21 March 1928. The first tranche of 12.000.000. - payable within 8 Tagon - shared the lawyers of the princes as their fee. How much Prince Josias received from the total sum of 38.000.000 Kc., I do not know. For Prince Cyrill about l3,00.000 Kc. were originally deposited, - of course again to loyal hands of the lawyers. In the course of time melted in an unexplained way these funds in only about 2,500.000 KC. Whether Prince Cyril got something of it, I don't know, - probably very little.
