English Translation

h2 - 2 - Basic salary. Czech law knows no difference between male and female teachers. The salary plan of the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia had therefore taken the salary of male teachers in the Reich equally as a ceiling for men and women. I would have been understood by this in the case of a restriction on men - apart from some exaggerations - but the inclusion of women would have led the Czech teachers considerably above the rich level of the German teachers - sometimes with monthly amounts up to 40 RM -. In view of the importance of this question for the pay of female teachers in the Reich, but also for other female public servants, my representatives have asked either to distinguish between male and female teachers, or to reduce all teachers to the level of female, in the case of Czech pay improvement. The representatives of the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia preferred the latter solution, because the German minister of state for Czech Republic and Moravia from political considerations wants to stick to Czech law and thus also to the equalization of male and female teachers. For my part, I can also accept this solution if I would have preferred the amendment to the Reichsrecht. Further difficulties arose with the salary of the husbands, the lieutenant and lieutenant general of the police and the government force. 1. Teams The teams in the German Wehrmacht receive 15 RM per month as a peace soldier in the first and second years of service in addition to free maintenance. The teams of the Czech police and recruitment force are to receive 150 RM each month with all material remunerations.The value of the material remuneration in the Wehr-macht is calculated with 6 RM accommodation and 39 RM catering = 45 RM. Then, as the salary corresponding to the Reichslöhnung of 15 RM, an amount of 150 RM minus 45 RM = 105 RM would remain. This difference is to be taken very seriously. He can only be justified by the fact that the Czech man immediately commits himself to 12 years and that his entire service period, also in the first and second years of service, is based, in contrast to the Reich, on his own free obligation decision. I can therefore accept the difference only if the Wehrmacht and the police do not derive any vocations from it, not even for the salary of the capitulants, who commit themselves already in the first or second year of service to l2 years of service. 2.
