Contributions to the Winter
      Relief Association (1938-39)           about 500 million RM
 
Other associations                 over 100 million RM
 
Total                              about 1, 800 millions RM.
 
It is to be assumes that among the business and professional
 
organizations the German Labor Front is represented by too 
 
low an amount (about 440 million RM), but no more exact data
 
are available. Besides this sum of 1.8 billion RM, there
 
is also a sum of about 1 billion RM which was raised for
 
the purpose of promoting export trade. In 1939 the income 
 
from dues off the organizations in the old Reich could 
 
hardly have been less, but was probably somewhat higher 
 
than in the preceding year. Besides, there is the effect 
 
of the extension of the territory of the Reich by Austria and
 
the Sudetenland. The dues of the orgizations mentioned.
 
should therefore, Austria and the Sudetenland being included, 
 
have amounted to approximately 2 billion RM. About 0.9 
 
billion RM was expended for the promotion of export trade. 
 
In 1940 the receipts from dues of the organizations will
 
undoubtedly diminish in part, but on the other hand certain 
 
increases are to be counted on, as for example in the
 
German Red Cross. Among these there is also the Joint Aid
 
 
Association of Industry, necessitated by the war, which
 
would also claim amounts worth naming.  So, on the whole,
 
                                       the
