Emil Lederer’s 1920 commission speaking turn concerns the coal association’s current activity. His intervention is procedural: he proposes that the representative of the Reich Economics Ministry first answer the question just raised by Rathenau.
Lederer: Ich wäre dafür, daß diese Frage, die Herr Dr. Rathenau eben aufgeworfen hat, ob der Kohlenverband heute eine Tätigkeit entwickelt, zuerst vom Vertreter des Reichs-Wirtschaftsministeriums beantwortet werden sollte.
English translation: Lederer: I would favor having this question, which Dr. Rathenau has just raised—whether the coal association is currently carrying out any activity—answered first by the representative of the Reich Economics Ministry.
The contribution seeks official clarification before further discussion; it supplies neither an answer nor a substantive assessment of the association’s performance.
