4 2 In spite of this, it is very important for all Germans to be able to carry out the general supervision ofginner Protectorats. l.) Already the circle of persons who are to receive a protectorats allowance is difficult to delimit. The limitation to the Germans employed in the working life in socially dependent positions will hardly be feasible in the long term. With regard to the age structure of the local German population, the recipients of old age and invalidity pensions as well as pensions must also be considered with such an allowance. This could only be done by means of a corresponding supplement to the pension and pension rates, the fixing and definition of which would cause very considerable difficulties under insurance and administrative law. There should also be a need to compensate the self-employed small businessmen, craftsmen and farmers for their income. Such a measure could probably be implemented by means of tax legislation or state subsidies; in turn, it is likely that there will be a need to set up a special administrative body for this purpose. A general introduction of the Pretektoratszulage would also have to extend to the pamilies of those who are called for military service, because it would rightly be considered unfair by their family members if only the Germans remaining in their home country would receive an improvement in their income. Since all the rights and obligations arising from the employment relationship of a member of the military service who has been called up for military service rest, there would normally not be any immediate advantages from the order of a protectorate allowance. Only in the few exceptional cases in which wages or salaries are paid to the full by the company would such an increase already have an effect. In all other cases, however, according to the structure of the family maintenance right, the allowance would have to be credited to the amount of family maintenance, because, in principle, family maintenance is only granted according to net income received prior to the conscription.
