Berlin, 16 November, 1937
President of the Reich Bank Dr. Hjalmar Schacht
My Fuehrer!
My dear Mr. Reich Chancellor!
At your instigation President of the Ministerial Council Goer-ing asked me to attend a conference on 1 November of this year, which led in an entirely friendly manner to the working out of a series of proposals, which President of the Ministerial Council Goering promised to have presented to me in writing on the following day by his State Councillor Neumann, so that, after having reached an agreement, we could present a mutually approved text to you, my Fuehrer. This agreement, even though I repeated it to State Councillor Neumann on the next day, has not to this date been carried out by President of the Ministerial Council Goering.

Since the office of President of the Ministerial Council Goering in the meantime is interfering repeatedly with the authorities of the Reich Ministry of Economy, and since I as Reich Minister of Economy have been on leave of absence since the 5th of September of this year and it is not possible that the Ministry remain any longer without a chief, I should therefore like most humbly to ask you once more in the interest of a uniform government management for the carrying out of the release from the Ministry of Economy which was promised me.
It goes without saying that I am available, here or on the mountain, for an oral report at any time.
Thanking you cordially in advance I am

Supply of Raw Materials
When, on 2 August 1934, the Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor entrusted to me the leadership of the economic policies of the Reich, the expansion of German raw material procurement already played a decisive role. This was possible
1. By increased domestic production of raw materials,
2. By increased import of raw materials.
While I was in charge (that is, before the Four-Year Plan be-As ever your devoted
