and the Sudetenland, the net amount of cash needed for
 
the Reich Territories, associations of Communes and
 
Communes for the fiscal years 1939 was found by estimate
 
to be 1,094 million RM. Hence we get a corrected total
 
for the States and Communes of the Great German Empire
 
(according to the territorial status before the outbreak
 
of the present war), of 10.29 billion RM as the amount of
 
money needed in the fiscal year 1939. In this total there
 
is lacking the remainder of the government of Austria,
 
directly under control of the Reich, to which 171.7
 
million RM was given in the way of transfers in the
 
fiscal 1939 (see Table 2, Note 3). Besides, there are
 
of course left out the new Reich Territories and Reich
 
Districts of the East, which were not incorporated until
 
late in 1939. 
 
               The rough estimate for the fiscal year 1940,
 
in which a distribution by States and Communes has not yet been
 
possible, refers to the same territory and the same mission
 
as the figures for the fiscal year 1939. From it there are
 
still absent the Reich Territories of Danzig-West Prussia
 
and Wartheland, the former Polish territories assigned to
 
 Prussia and the remainder of the administration of the
 
States of Austria, which could certainly have demanded only 
 
scanty means in the fiscal year 1940. The net amount
