28 K Brno in January 1940. The fegation of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia by the President Dr. Emil Hácha and the protector of Feich Konstantin Freiherr von Neurath Prag 2i Wem do not involuntarily escape "Jdicts or egoists" when reading this decree. - Take note of the logically impeccable conclusion For active public employees and foremen the income is reduced by 6 years for the same purpose, for the active persons the percentage is less, for pensioners the percentage more. In the year l939, the cuts are being looked at in the light of the general inflation of both parties. The current assets will continue to receive one-off, one-time subsidies for the cost of living and on-going inflation contributions from 1 500 to 3 000 per year, because they have been less deducted/, the pensioners/, because he has been deducted by 6 years already/, did not receive anything, for they do not miss the inflation due to the "previously greater deductions" and can now hold their full pension , calculated for the period before the century l933, although shortened by the meanwhile increased income tax / 140%/ and the state defence contribution / at least 1 1/2% of total income since then demonstrably l50 to 200% general increase in life-time already slightly survive. - Because: The resters need neither meat nor bacon / about 200% higher price/ to buy, they should fill themselves seven times a week with carts/ only 150% more expensive// they do not need new clothes /i50% more expensive /, because they can fix themselves pants and skirt, shoes /zoc% more expensive- they do also not need either, they can stay at home in their old patches; if the old people and also the young, degraded pensioners no longer have an old shirt to wear, they just should leave them at home without a shirt, because nobody misses them in the public. Instead of their bi-annual two-room change, which is now 15% more expensive, they can sublet to their former official servant, the seventy-year-old wife of the accounting council can probably wash up her chamber the same and the bat can help her, so that neither still costs paid operators. They can carry themselves from the cellar to the 3rd floor, if they have clenches and if not, they don't need to drag down ash and crap, but can freeze and freeze quite well and content in the cold room and starve to death, it is no longer a pity for them. In this way, everyone judged the always modest bureaucracy concerned about the state and the well-being of the active councils, superior - government - and ministerial councils, when they adopted and, of course, managed the government decree of 23 May 1939, this bureaucracy, it has already managed the republic, it will also bring the protectorate to the man. Only then will it be possible to say: Justitia fundamentum regnorum. Let us be paid to retirees at least the amount to which we have been deducted in the six years more than the assets of the same basic salaries, because we do not have to object to an all-embracing salary improvement of the state employees. The former Justitia, not a cowardice, now also refuses us to put our names under, because we are protectorate retirees
