2a often applied tactics of the Czechs to assign the responsibility to the German authorities for all unpleasant exterminations of the wartime, would work together to the same undesirable. Lin, however, would at least incite to the autonomous administration that the Czech district governors lose their own initiative and self-responsibility. Since the remaining Czech authorities are qualified senior officials, some of whom were in Austrian service, since the importance of the Bohemian region for the war economy is also due to the intensification of the administration by the German side, this extinction would be unwelcome. These principles must be taken into account by the heads of the German divisions of high fertilizations. They must show extraordinary discipline and an appearance which must be determined as if it were skilled. Their environment will either enable them to make them feel their isolation or, by means of invitations or special concessions, try to deprive the officers of their freedom of action in order to compromise them at Gelegeahcit. Within the district authorities, the German beants and frames are used. In the event of proper conduct towards the Czech district governors as heads of authorities, they have in every respect gained respect and insight into all important matters, without stressing themselves and assuming responsibility for things which do not fall within the terms of the Reich's mandate. In addition to the administration of the Reichsverzeichnis (Reichsverwaltung), it would be strongly recommended that German officials monitor the progress made in the autonomen Verwaltungs ny and report on their findings, if any, to the Oberlandrat inspector. Moreover, the influence of the autonomous administration would have to be primarily in the form that the heads of the German departments would give suggestions to the authorities. The still existing Czech district heads are too aware of the imperial power behind the German officials, so that they will not try to bear such suggestions in mind. Every German official must be clear that only economical application of the existing German possibilities of influence ensures their impact and that the constant exploitation of the superiority of the German sovereignty makes them dull and ineffective. If the German official in the district authority believes that he is aware of what is contrary to German interests, he has the opportunity to inform the Oberlandrat, which, by virtue of his authority, is involved in the Eage, without acting himself. In the constant management and orientation of the German operating authorities in the district authorities according to the above principles, I consider an essential task of your inspection activity : I may ask you to accept her in the connexion with the regional vice-presidents: in Böhnen and Mhren and to act on every occasion in this sense.
