It is requested to indicate the respective registration mark and the subject matter in further letters. - 1 Annex - Dear Mr Gies, In the Appendix I am sending a note on the 'Czechoslovak Association in Yugoslavia' and related institutions. In particular, I note the following: In view of the slogan issued by the association that it does not read the press, I have caused the German embassy in Belgrade to receive Czech magazines and daily newspapers - first for the duration of one month. The embassy will tell me what experiences it has made with the distribution. I have asked the Federal Foreign Office for a decree on the decision on the request of the German embassy in Bel- grad to obtain from the Yugoslav Government that the anti-German activities of the Czechoslovak Association be brought to an end by dissolution. The activities of the "Czech School Association" in Agram are not sufficiently explained by the present reports.I have therefore asked the German Consulate General in A Gram for as detailed information as possible about this association. I had rejected the forwarding of a communication from the Pro tectorate's Ministry of Education, which approved support for the 'Czech House' for the year l939, because to Mr. Superior Councillor Dr. Gies in P r a g IV , St.S.π3-8. Czernin - Palais.
