The Imperial Protector 10 August 1943. in Bohemia and Moravia Prague II, the Brebauergasfe 6, Tel. 898-30 and 260-77 V - Reichsbk. 2873 H$M/26 905 Confidential Eo is asked to indicate this diary number for worldly scraps. Rudolfsplatz Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour The question of the other accommodation of the securities exchange is discussed with the head of the National Bank and the Stock Exchange Bureau.The management of the SNB is ready to provide the settlement room and also 4 additional rooms for the holding of the stock exchange meetings and the hosting of the exchange secretariat. Yesterday - as Director Ulbrich of the Böhmische Union-Bank was absent - the rooms were visited by the stock exchange president P o - k o r n y, who personally believes that the rooms are sufficient for an emergency accommodation of the stock market. The two German Vice-Presidents of the Börse, Director U 1 b r i c h /Bohemian Union Bank/ and Director No o w o t n y /Bohmische Es compte Bank/ agree in principle with an emergency accommodation of the stock exchange in the premises of the National Bank. The question of the introduction of telephone lines for stock exchange purposes, however, still needs to be resolved at the National Bank, but such a solution would have to take place in any other case of stock exchange accommodation. The question about the postponement of settlement times on the days of stock market meetings can be solved after yesterday's discussions. The difficulties which may arise here are, in my opinion, to be overcome. I believe that the move of the stock exchange can be carried out within a week. I would ask you to wait for the return of the Stock Exchange Secretary, which is expected in the course of tomorrow. I will then finally report on the possibility of placing the stock exchange in the premises of the National Bank and the date of the move of the stock market.
