10. Staffing of our agencies abroad and collaboration with the A.O. [Foreign Organization of the Nazi Party]

It is generally agreed that under no circumstances should anybody be assigned to our agencies abroad who is not a member of the German Labor Front and whose positive attitude to the new era has not been established beyond any doubt.

Gentlemen who are sent abroad should be made to realize that it is their special duty to represent National Socialist Germany. They are particularly reminded that as soon as they arrive they are to contact the local or regional group [of the Foreign Organization of the Nazi Party] respectively, and are expected to attend regularly their meetings as well as at those of the Labor Front. The Sales Combines are also requested to see to it that their agents are adequately supplied with National Socialist literature.

Collaboration with the A.O. must become more organized. It seems expedient to work out a uniform plant jointly with the A.O., which will show within which period of time it will be possible to eliminate deficiencies still existing with our agencies abroad, which have been a subject for complaint.
