thE St.M. IV D - 49 p/43. Prague, 10th December 1943. V 10. xI 1043 PS: Urgent! Present immediately! To 4-Obergruppenführer Minister of State Frank, currently Berlin, Reichskanzlei. Obergruppenfuirer ! According to a recent report of the Department of Finance, the commissioners of the Reicksfinanzminis- terium (Anträger) intend to work through the local offices. According to the Reichsminister der Finanzen, "the salary improvements provided for here are almost entirely too favourable, especially for officials outside the school administration, government force and police, where only one grade lowers the final remuneration of the RM 2nd month S d d d t final remuneration by RM 10th to RM 25th month. In the case of government troops and protectorate police, in some cases similar reservations must be made. Although the compromises on the Reich's salary drawn in the proposal of the German Minister of State cannot be accepted in all cases. This is to be accepted, however, if the German Minister of State does not derive from the comparison he has chosen any change in the compensatory allowance guidelines."
