other hand, the receipts from dues can be estimated with
 
some certainty,  at least as to their amount. It is to be
 
assumes that the organizations named also use the means 
 
at their disposal: the formation of reserves and budget 
 
surpluses could hardly play a part in them worth mentioning.
 
     In consequence of the impossibility of determining the
 
total needs of the organizations, only the figures on the
 
receipts from dues will be given, or on that portion of the
 
expenditures that can be covered from such receipts from
 
dues, differing from the procedure employed theretofore.
 
So the grants to these organizations that are contained
 
in the budget of the public administration, particularly the
 
budget of the Reich, are not to be considered in the budget
 
of the organization receiving the grant, but in the budget
 
of the body making the grant.
 
       The total amount of dues collected by business, pro-
 
fessional and parts organizations and other associations 
 
probably amounted in 1938, in the o1d Reich, to about 1.8 
 
billion RM. This sum was made up about as follows:
 
Dues of the business and trade
organizations                 810 to 820 million RM
 
Dues of the Party and its
      subordinate and attached units,
      including the Reich Air Protection
      League and the Reach Warriors'
      League                                 350 to 380 million RM
