With lively satisfaction and with warm thanks I took from Kenntnie that the Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia decided to pay the special grant of 350000.- RM to the budget of the Duieburg Opera for the accounting year l943/44. I repeat, however, that I too do not believe that there is a legal obligation to pay these Zuechusses. I am more than happy about the recognition that the work of the Duieburg Opera in Prague has been carried out and that the voluntary increase in the grant on the other side is being shown in an eo-friendly way. Inzwiechen also the Minister of the Interior approved the grant of 400o0o.- RM for the accounting year 1943/44 by the representative of the Reicheminieteriume for People's Enlightenment and Propaganda.
