West Prussia and Wartheland and those to Prussia for the 
 
newly incorporated eastern regions will be not a little
 
higher than in the past fiscal year, since they were not 
 
granted until the second half thereof. In all, the transfers

and Communes, which amounted to 2.8 billion RM in the balance
