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. |
