English Translation

18 The Imperial Protector in Bohemia and Moravia at lr. Rpr. 62 / 41. 2leg World Cup During the visit of the Prime Minister Eliéš on 18 January the year before, he informed me that he intended to give up his position as Section Chief in Rüro of the President and to be retired, Mr Eliés seemed to consider this separation as a special sacrifice in his turn. I told him, on the one hand, that I was astonished at the fact that, in addition to his chairmanship, he was still the head of the section, so I could only strongly advise him to carry out his intention as soon as possible. It should be noted whether the double-earner practice, which Mr Eliáš seems to have adopted as a matter of course, also occurs with more senior officials and employees of the protectorate. Preg, 21 January 1941, e.g. Frhr. von Neurath.
