Whereas the improvement in pay must also be as consistent and significant as possible; whereas otherwise it would only lead to greater disapproval; whereas, finally, it is appropriate to use the simplest methods, otherwise the necessary acceleration cannot be achieved; The above principles can best be achieved by increasing protectionate pay by certain increases in the number of groups, while the so far increased inflation allowances can be reduced at the same time. The upper limits of the increase must be the salaries of the comparable categories of civil servants of the Reich's right to pay, although of course a certain degree of abstinence should be maintained. The comparative measure is to be gained here from an unbiased definition of the education, training, task and performance of the individual category of persons. On this point, I attach particular importance, since, in contrast to the preliminary remarks, the system of the equivalent allowance has been proposed as a benchmark for comparison. The aim of the compensation allowance, which is granted to the German staff in the autonomous administration, was to align these staff with the Reichsbeamten before the reform of the autonomous pay law, which was still in further sight at that time, and to preserve Germanism in the protectorate administration.
