1148 12 Business Group Prague, 31 October 1941 II/1 - 19987/41. To the Head of Division II, Czerninpalais. Subject: Presidium and management of the Pilsen Chamber of Commerce. Since the originally planned visit of the undersigned in Pilsen was not yet possible for the discussion of this matter for temporal reasons, I asked the deputy Oberlandrat ORR Klose to call the district head Woltner and the deputy Upper Land Council at their next joint presence in Prague with me. Mr. 42 Secretary of State 471 - on Mr. Under-Secretary of State - with the request unnoticed. The Pilsen affair cannot be settled unless the very fundamental question of delimiting the scope of functions of the chambers in the Protectorate from the sphere of activity of the organization of the central associations of industry, commerce and commerce has been clarified. Next week there will be an in-depth debate on this subject, attended by the responsible rapporteur of the Reich Ministry of Economic Affairs, Minister Dr Hassmann, and Director General Dr Adolf. I will report on the outcome of this meeting. Prague, 3 November 1941.
