After explaining the conditions with the strongest emphasis on the political aspects by me very trustful discussion of the problem. Dr.Hammer quite understands the political necessity, but on the other hand clearly emphasizes the opposing concerns. Sees strongest resistance from the head of the Reichsorganisation Dr.Ley and is the Reich Finance Minister, probably consented by the Reicnarbeitsministerium and the Reich Food Ministry, provided that also in the rest of the realm the introduction of the peasant family health insurance is carried out by the agriculture there. Against the latter party chancellery has great concerns. The German Labour Front will strongly object to this measure with regard to planned pensions after the war and because of fundamental rejection of a professional insurance. Dr.Hammer sees the political importance of the immediate mass initiative initiated by the Czech Minister of Agriculture and can still be given certain documents today, in particular about the increasing production performance of the local agricultural economy. He believes that Reichsleiter Bolrmann will probably not give an opinion without a lecture at the Führer and asks for an appropri- ation to be able to inform Reichsleder Bolrman immediately of the content of the current meeting. Reichshauptstelleleiter Kauthe expressed the wish that the head of the party liaison office should now also be allowed to continue so that the party contact office would not receive any accusation from its head for lack of information. Dr.Hammer left tonight. He attaches importance to obtaining the requested authorization before his departure. FS NR 5585 10.11.44 1725 OGRUBR/ FEHM
