Her letter of 30 September 1943 - St.M.78/30/43 -. Very revered party comrade Frank! I have taken note of the way in which you intend to continue to deal with the matter, and I believe that the question of whether or not agreement with the relevant imperial departments is necessary for the realignment of salaries in the autonomous protectorate administration will be left to the point. It seems to me, however, that these aspects of the regulation to be adopted are of such great interest to me that they will have to be given sufficient opportunity to assert their views. This is due to the fact that the reorganization of salaries in the autonomous protectorate administration is capable of having an impact not only on the salaries of all German employees in the protectorate, but also on the internal German pay system. On the other hand, the Reich is also interested in this regulation because of the weakening of the Matricular Contribution of the Protectorate, which may result from it. As I had already informed you in my letter of 2 September 1943 - Rk. l0482 C - the Reichsministers St.M.$πQ-49k/43
