English Translation

- 6 - G e s a m t b e g a n d u n g : In a closer look at the supplemental table, it is appropriate to anticipate the revenue rate, because this time - deviating from the normal cases - the determining factors are included in the total supplementary plan l942. We have seen that more than 72% of the total revenue in the supplementary plan was reduced to 1941, and we were able to see from the remarks made by Mr Lerche that these were less effective additional revenues, but rather savings on the main issue, because for reasons of the war economy, corresponding expenditures of the current administration had to be omitted. Thus, the savings in 19941 are offset by expenditure which was postponed to later years, which means that the financial management needs to make available the funds from the savings made for these accumulated tasks in the form of corresponding reserves. If this were not to happen, the coming years would be burdened with the expenditure on the measures which are not being implemented now. Preliminary expenditure could no longer be disbursed on the basis of appropriations from the regular running of the accounts, because the revenue from the administrative implementation in the future would be virtually equivalent to the measures and expenditure for the years in question.
