4a Subject: Behaviour of civil servants and employees in Bohemia and Moravia Although I have repeatedly pointed out that the officials and. employed should impose the greatest restraint with regard to the war outwardly, I have found that despite the fourth year of war there is still a tendency to represent. The representation of the Czechs is reserved for only a few senior officials. It is of course necessary to take account of the war and the achievements of the front in the traffic of the Beámte and the employees among themselves. However, how little the attitude of the officials and employees still meets this requirement is demonstrated by the fact that an Oberlandrat - Inspector - must ask me to ensure that the permanent invitations to eat cease. I have nothing against the forced and loose traffic of the officers and employees among themselves. However, I would ask that guests of irresponsible elements reduce the German reputation and cause unrest. The duties of officials and employees are exclusively in the service of leaders and people, but by no means in the exploitation of over-lived social complexes. I will take action against the officials and employees concerned in all cases where further cases of guestries are reported to me and recklessly arrange for their removal from the Protectorate. On this occasion, I would like to point out that the traffic with the representatives of foreign countries resident in Prague is limited to a minimum and is subject to my approval on a case-by-case basis. I would ask that all officials and employees of your service be informed of this decree. In addition, I ask new officials and employees to be informed of this decree at the time of entry. 48699 Representing K.H. Frank Certified: M yo 2 d.d Angesx]te 72/c daa / Ehh?
