In the "general budget disbursements" for the fiscal year
 
1939 there were agaln chiefly payments to the offices pro-
 
viding annuity insurance, to the Special Fund for Marriage
 
Loans and Bonuses for Children, to the Reich Auto Roads and
 
to the Reich budget. A payment of 8.6 billion RM was again
 
made also to the sick benefit offices for collection of 
 
contributions. In addition, the Reich Institution formed 
 
a reserve of 41.7 million RM in the fiscal year 1939, at 
 
the order of the Reich, which, like the reserves formed by 
 
the Communes, was to benefit the credit of the Reich and
 
therefore must be left out of consideration, on the same
 
ground as the former. The same is true, besides, of the
 
surpluses which the Reich Institution achieved in the two
 
fiscal years 1938 and 1939 despite the high "general budget
 
expenditures". Means for the Reich credit were to be pro-
 
vided by them likewise. Thus in the fiscal year 1939 only
 
ihe special disbursements of the Reich Institution, in the
 
amount of 439 million RM, which apply to the territory of
 
the Reich extended by Austria and the Sudetenland, need be
 
observed that from the fiscal 1939 on the administrative
 
costs of unemployment relief are entered in the form of
 
administrative reimbursement for the budget of the
 
 
Reich Ministry of Labor; that is, it is already contained
 
                                   in
