The question of acetylene and power is at present of necessity being
studied through the buna projects.
We will then work out a development
plan for L supplies in case of war on the basis of the technical evaluation of
the processes and raw materials supplies, and alter the locations have been
decided upon will compile appropriate plants. We hope that we shall be able to
have our technical staff, which built Ammendorf and which is just carrying out
the Wolfen project, released for this purpose.
In our opinion, the
Ammendorf plant should start operating immediately, in addition to this
installation of the standby plants [Bereitschaftsanlagen], so that Oxol can be
stockpiled. We are at present studying the possibility of starting operations
at once, with regard to providing steam and electric power, plant management,
and supplies of chlorine and alcohol.
I presume that you will agree to
these decisions and remain |

Minister President General Goering on the Execution of the

THE SPEECH IN THE BIG ASSEMBLY HALL OF THE
"PREUSSENHAUS" ON 17
DECEMBER 1936² |

After a short survey of world politics and the dangers of bolshevism
and the world revolution, Goering said among other things:
The old laws of economics have no
longer their former value. In economics there are no laws of nature, but only
those made by man. These are interpretations by man adapted to special
circumstances. We see today the realization of things which only a few years
ago appeared to be Utopia.
We must let the worker participate in the wealth of ideas
