FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG 19 January 1936
In Germany There is Only One Economic Policy Dr. Schacht speaks against theoretical discussions
In the rooms of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce at Stettin an inaugural assembly of the Economic Chamber of Pomerania took place. The President of the Reichsbank, Dr. Schacht, appeared among others. In his address he emphasized that economic policies did not depend upon theoretical discussions, particularly since everybody usually maintains different concepts on technical expressions. In connection with this, the Minister of Economics mentioned the impression repeatedly voiced abroad about alleged differences of opinion among the Fuehrer and his collaborators. Fortunately there exists in Germany only one policy and one economic policy, namely that of Adolf Hitler; to work with him and for his goals is the highest satisfaction for every member of the people's community.
Extract from an article, summarizing Schacht's statement that there was no debate about economic policy in Germany because Hitler determined policy and everyone worked for Hitler and his goals
