39 En t flurf. Telex to SS-Obergruppenführer Staatsminister Fr a n k Berlin Reichskanzlei. - B According to the report recently received by the Finance Department, the representatives of the Reichsfinanzministerium (Amtsraten) intend to propose the following to the Reich's Minister of Finance after the work has been carried out: "The improvements in the contents provided for here are to be approved almost without exception. This is particularly true for officials outside the school administration, government forces and police, where only a single working group would encourage the reduction of the final salary by 2 RM per month. In the school management, certain final salaries are to be reduced by 1o to 25 RM a month. In the case of government troops and protectorate police, similar reservations have to be made in some stables. Although the comparisons to 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 from any change in the compensatory allowance guidelines. In this context, the Federal Ministry of Finance's representatives have accepted the proposals herewith with very slight deviations, which are in no way in relation to the present delay, as appropriate.
