national apparatus of production, as well as the total
 
national wealth, at the same level. Hence national in-
 
come and national production do not entirely coincide.
 
On the one hand, national income is less than production,
 
Which also embraces all those commodities which serve to
 
replace the productive facilities that are worn out, other
 
durable producer's goods as and stocks on hand. On the other
 
hand, the total amount of the national income is greater
 
than the national production, as it also covers those
 
services rendered that do not go into commodities, but
 
have an intrinsic value. Such services are in particular
 
the services of public officials.

         ln 1938 the German national income in the o1d  Reich,
 
including the Saar, amounted to approximately 80 billion RM.
 
In 1959 it probably inoreased decidedly, even for the same
 
area;  Besides that, there is the extension of the territory
 
of ,the Reich by Austria and the Sudetenland. Altogether, at
 
a rough provisional estimate, the German national income for
 
the :year 1939, in the territory of the Reich augmented by
 
Auatria and the Sudetenland, may be estlmated at about
 
94 billion RM. In the year 1940, the total value of the
 
German national income in the same area was probably somewhat
 
less than in 1939, but, from observations made up to
 
this tame, the decrease is not yet important. If we disregard
