L Dt.10.12 Process: Reports & Pot Wage - 2 - are active in areas of particular importance to the national politics, especially in those with a strong German population share now German district heads. In the municipalities again German positions have been secured by the establishment of German mayors and German government commissioners. The entire German population, apart from the scattered German language, is now under German municipal management. I also went the same way in various specialist administrations to strengthen the German element: e.g. in the case of employee health insurance, price monitoring, post office, railway, also with the associations of the market organization, commercial economy, etc. A generous integration of German forces into the autonomous administration and thus a definitive safeguarding of the German influence in it had so far prevented the pay gap between the autonomous and the rich's own administration. With the help of popular grants, the salaries of German teachers have now been adjusted to the Reich's salary from 1.4.1940. After negotiations which were difficult in view of the possibility of effects on the free economy, in principle a compensation of the salary difference between the old and the protectorate for the German forces of the autonomous administration has now been achieved. Within a short time all German officials, employees and workers as well as the pensioners of the autonomous administration, including self-administration from the Reichsmittel, will be paid a "compensation allowance".
