On 25 August 1924 Dr. Frick made the proposition that all Jews in public office in the Reich, in the regions [Laender] and in self administered bodies should be dismissed and the vacant positions should be reoccupied by professional officials, with special consideration for the disabled veterans.

When, on 1 April 1931, Dr. Frick, forced by a parliamentary, non patriotic opposition, submitted his resignation, a world of enemies breathed with relief, though particularly his fearful bourgeois colleague minister. Adolf Hitler sent him a note of thanks: "Party member Minister Dr. Frick! A year ago, in order to demonstrate the willingness of the NSDAP to take part in the responsibility, you assumed the ministry of the interior in Thuringia at my request. During this time you worked superhumanly. You have fallen victim to the old German treachery. But be convinced that your name has become known in the National Socialist movement and way beyond it. Millions and again millions of people see in you the first German minister who had the courage to acknowledge the being of our people and to fight its enemies. We all believe unshakenly in the hour when you will again—and this time for always—be called to serve our people in a responsible position.

quarters. Dr. Frick provided with an iron fist for the success of the absolute authority of the government. It was made plain to the regional government that there was no sense in opposing the goals of the Reich government. A warning was given against all separatist efforts. There is no main line for the Reich government. Before the black-red obstructionists could come to their senses the Reich commissars sent by minister Frick appeared and enacted law and order.
