As a number of new facts have arisen in the matter of the deportation of the sudeten German wood pearl industry to the Protectorate, I can see that the following facts have been brought to your attention: With the extension of the company Drabek a. Spol, which you have personally issued, I am afraid. In Semil, it was clear at the time that the Czechs' entry into the wood-pearl industry, which is vital in particular for the Jizera Mountains, should in any case be avoided. Now we are told from a credible point of view that the company Strnad a Rytval in Zasata (Jitschin County) has recently installed new automatic machines and produces them with these wooden beads. It goes the same way as the company Drabek a spol at that time. and has hired already former workers of the company Schowanek from Albrechtsdorf and with their help also further developed the production. A written investigation by Mr. Regierungsrat Beck on the Czech Ministry of Commerce was negative, but it is clear that the production of the company, as can be proved by its deliveries, has increased enormously. In addition, we know that the company Strnat a Rytval ordered from the company Liberta,prag again 9 machines for the production of wood beads. ==+ Et. S.0M -FY4
