9K - 3 - bill. o) The representatives of the Reicha Ministry of Finance have approved the granting of an allowance in the usual sense. I acknowledge that the extension of the ministerial sulage to the staff members who are members of my miniatery is of fundamental benefit, but I would ask that when dealing with this group of persons, account be taken of the fact that the action taken by the staff representatives in the second instance has already led to a feeling of participation which should not be strengthened in the form of a financial gain. It should be borne in mind that these Bodionateten have carried out ministerial functions in the Sutonom central authorities and have provided the necessary guarantees. By transferring atwa two thirds of the holdings of the former subjects of the Roichaprotector to the autonomous administration of the Bostroben naoh Vereifachung dor Reichsverwaltung in Protaktorat, Rechmug Beeragen became so largely that no more generous treatment of these subjects appears to be considered at the Plutze. I ask, therefore, that these staff be given the benefit of the allowance, so that in the first three years it will not be affected by the rise in salary or by promotion, and that it will only be reduced by the increase in remuneration after that time. I have also requested the establishment of an independent establishment plan (chapter 2) for the officials required in my further field of business, which requires a final decision. I refer in this respect to the letter to Reichsminieter, which is enclosed in a copy.
