_The State in addition protects labour._ The Socialization Law declares that the power of labour is the most precious economic good and it imposes on the Reich the legal obligation to protect it. The Constitution of Weimar applies in Article 157 the terms of the law of March 23, with the exception of the words, “the most precious economic good.” But the Constitution also extends and organizes in outline the duty of the State in this respect. It amplifies this duty in expressly specifying in its Article 158 that intellectual labour also is under the special protection of the Reich. As to the measures for the protection of labour, some of them come under domestic law, others under international law. Within the Reich itself the Constitution prescribes the creation of uniform labour legislation. In addition it guarantees to every individual and to every vocation the liberty of organization for the defence and the development of the conditions of labour and of economic life, and it accords to each employé and laborer the free time necessary for the exercise of the civil duties and free public functions that may be given to him. Finally, it promises a complete system of social insurance to be established for the maintenance of health and standards in labour. In international relation, the Constitution imposes on the Reich the obligation to protect abroad the products of German science, art and technique, and to strive for the establishment of an international regulation of the legal status of workers. * * * * * _Finally the State must provide for the needs of individuals out of work_; and this obligation logically results from the principle that inspires all of this part of the Constitution. Since the Reich imposes on every German the obligation to work only for the good of the community, it must see to it--apart from any humanitarian or financial considerations--that every German’s capacity for labour shall be maintained as long and at as high a standard as possible. That is why, not content with merely protecting this capacity of labour, the Socialization Law and the Constitution provide that every German must receive what is necessary for his livelihood, to the extent that a possibility of adequate employment cannot be assured to him (Article 163). The draft of the Socialization Law provided as a condition to this duty on the part of the State that the individual shall not have been able to find employment. The final text of the law which the Constitution also uses provides only that such opportunity for employment shall not have been offered.
