Betr.: Acquisition of the vegetable plant Skobis, German-Kopist, by the company Klepsch in Aussig. A sale of the said plant to the mentioned Firna is to be rejected for fundamental reasons. It is not acceptable for agricultural holdings to be sold to industrial enterprises today only for the reason that the industrial enterprises concerned have ensured their supply of raw materials; there is also the possibility that industrial enterprises may conclude corresponding supply contracts. German construction companies had already been interested in this operation, but they were also rejected, since it is one of the best vegetable farms in Bohemia, which is therefore only available after the end of the war.
