Kuehne recommends participation in the training course planned by Joerss and also repeats his advice to join the German Labor Front. With regard to the criticism expressed on fees to be paid to the German Labor Front, it should be considered how great, comparatively speaking, are the sacrifices the worker is always prepared to make in order to have his class represented.

Kuehne reports that Bencker, Christ, Starck, and Schwaebel had been appointed department heads since the last meeting. Furthermore Kuehne reports in detail on the organization of the Economic Group "Industry" into which all employer organizations will have to be absorbed. With reference to the allegation that the collaboration of the management of Leverkusen plant with the "Strength through Joy" organization leaves a lot to be desired, Kuehne reads a passage from the correspondence with Gauleiter Hossfeld of the "Strength through Joy" organization in which he expressly acknowledged that the work of the Leverkusen plant in the field of popular education is exemplary and leads the way.
