as well as the expenditures in connection with trading
 
capital and the other general means of covering, we get 
 
the expenditures of the civil administrative authorities,

Reich in the narrower and real sense. These amounted.
 
in the fiscal year 1938 to 13.2 billion RM and. in the
 
fiscal year 1939 to 15.6 billion RM. The increase is
 
explained to some extent by the increase in expenditures
 
for personnel in connection with the extension of territory 
 
and the elimination of part of the salary reductions for 
 
officials, as of July 1939. But the civil expenditures
 
of the Reich have increased decidedly, chiefly through
 
the augmentation of aid to families since the outbreak
 
of the war. As early as the fiscal year 1939 this amounted
 
to 1.5 billion RM. Finally, with the further growth of 
 
the indebtedness of the Reich, the expenditures for service
 
on the debt have risen consiaerably. But a certain rise 
 
is to be observed in the other civil administrative
 
expenditures also (see Table 3).
 
     The expenditures of the civil administrative authorities
 
and the expenditures for the armed forces comblned give the 
 
corrected sum for the administrative expenditures of the 
 
Reich. In the fiscal year 1938 it amounted to 30.4 billion
 
RM; and in the fiscal year 1939 to 44.5 billion RM. In
